Description:
The Banshee 14' is a compact yet powerful classic speedboat, admired for its sleek proportions, lightweight hull, and spirited performance on the water. Originally designed as a small racing and leisure craft, the Banshee 14' embodies the essence of mid-century American speedboat design—simple, fast, and visually striking.
This 30 inches custom-made scale model is handcrafted upon request, using premium Western Red Cedar, Teak, Mahogany, and other selected exotic woods. Built following the traditional plank-on-frame construction method, the model faithfully captures the original hull shape, deck layout, and distinctive detailing. Each project requires approximately 4–5 months of meticulous craftsmanship.
Throughout the production process, every curve and structural element is recreated with precision. You will receive photo updates at each key stage, allowing you to review and approve the build before moving forward:
- Hull construction and planking
- Deck detailing and structural components
- Final painting, varnishing, and finishing touches
Once completed and approved, the model will be securely packed in a custom wooden crate with reinforced protection, ensuring safe international delivery.
Available as a custom-made project only. To begin your build or request specifications, please visit Custom-Made Projects.
