We have recently completed several reproduction vintage boats, based on vintage designs, built with modern techniques, and powered with modern marine engines. These custom boats are built to run hard and provide for many years of fun boat rides, with proven hull designs and plenty of power to run at hull speeds. We also work very closely with the owners on all the numerous decisions, to make them very special and truly personal boats - they are art forms.

 

After completing our Gar Wood Speedster project Compulsion, we are currently working on a reproduction of a John Hacker design ski boat for Bob Mueller. The bare hull is being built by the Fish Brothers, the 327 cubic inch Chevy motor is being built at Larry's Auto Machine in Stonington, Connecticut, and the final design, rigging and finish work is being by the Vintage Race Boat Shop.

If interested, we can build one for you...

1956 Thompson Sea Skiff

This boat was fully restored 4 years ago, but she could use a fresh coat of varnish and hull paint. She comes with a vintage 1958 Evinrude Lark 30 HP with electric start. She rides on a vintage Tee Nee trailer that needs a coat of paint. The boat takes 2-3 days to swell up and after that she's as tight as a drum. Fresh water use only. This is a great boat at a great price. At 15 feet she handles big water very comfortably and turns heads wherever you go. The work required to bring her back to perfect shape would involve 8-10 hours at the most. Hate to let her go but I already have a 22 foot 1949 Chris Craft to keep me busy, and the wife wants the garage back!
