    Great site

    I am a believer or "an oldie but a goodie" and the older boats have such great character and appeal. The old wooden boats are my absolute favorite and when ever we are at boat shows, that is what honestly keeps my attention. New motors are cool but the workmanship of the old boats always amaze me.
