14 ‘ Rushton 109 pulling boat named Bonnie Jean after the original owner’s wife. One of 10 (4 of which were varnished) built in 1987 at Mystic Seaport Museum to raise money for the museum.. I have owned her since 2014. When rowing solo, she behaves like a sportscar – turns on a dime, easily switches to rowing in reverse and accelerates quickly.
