The Boat Loader Car No. 6416 came with four boats and was produced from 1961 until 1963. There are four variations to this car that have to do with the color of the boats. The debate among collectors as to which of these colors are original productions continues to this day. These boats have been reproduced, so collectors should examine the boats to see that they carry the original Lionel inscription. This car came with AAR trucks equipped with disc couplers.
