Your boats differ slightly from the type that had been made on the North Shore of MA by outfits like Lowell's in that yours have a markedly more freeboard than those.

My father built boats in wood in the early years and went over to glass in the 60's. He used the wooden boats he built as plugs from which he made the molds. My daughter and I continue to build our line of small boats and he taught us, with integrity, no shortcuts and by hand. We're proud of our work and focus on quality not quantity. We've been in business for 63 years, must be doing something right.<br />All the best,<br />Heidi Reid<br />Mackenzie Reid<br />Owners<br />Stur-Dee Boat Co.<br />Tiverton, TI 02878<br />www.stur-deeboat.comHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112769050441395474noreply@blogger.com
