This mid to late '50s cabin cruiser was offered as an unpainted assembly kit from Marx Toy Company many decades ago and was reintroduced by Lindberg a few years ago. I built my example in the early '90s (if memory serves). At just over 30" long, the kit is stated as 1/20 scale but the three figures scale closer to 1/24.  The boat's name on the stern is my wife's first and middle name.   Although it doesn't interest me personally, many of these model kits have been converted into radio control boats.

I'm including a pic of the waving girl beside one of my modified DM Deuce hot rods just for scale purposes.
