I used to own a wooden boat just like this one. It was a 1957 Morphew. It was about 15-foot long and was powered by an old 30-horsepower Johnson outboard motor. Needless to say, I didn't know what I had when I had it. I lived on a lake at the time and used it a lot for a couple of years. But, unfortunately, I tired of the boat and sold it for almost nothing to a young fellow in Woodville. I don't know what happened to it after that time.
I ran across this picture on the Web a couple of years ago. This is the only hit I got when I did a search for Morphew boats. This one is owned by the Palmers (I believe they live in Minnesota). It is a real collector's item today. I wish I still had mine.
Here's another view of the Palmers with their boat.
