By Hubley Mfg. Company. Lancaster, Pa. - Mid 1930's. The Penn Yan Boat Company was founded in 1921 by Charles Hermann. The company derived its name from the location of its headquarters in Penn Yan, New York. They soon gained notoriety as makers of high quality wooden powerboats, sailboats, canoes and rowboats. At first, their boats were sold mostly locally for use on the Finger Lakes. However, they attracted a much larger audience for their boats in the early 1930's when they introduced their "tunnel drive" system, giving their powerboats significantly greater speed and stability. This wonderful toy is a meticulous representation of a Penn Yan powerboat from the early 1930's, when they were at the pinnacle of their fame as boat designers. The toy is complete with all five original figures and outboard motor.
