“Dauntless”, a 38’ 2000 Commuter/Express Cruiser owned by J. W. Marriott, Jr. which took a first place in reproduction at the Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire Boat Show. The bare hull was built in Australia and the completion and alterations were performed by Old Time Boat Co.

“Lady Lakeside”, hull #300 Chris Craft triple for the Lakeside Inn, Leo II, III and IV for the Johnson family and “Doozie”, a 20’ Dodge and a Gar Wood for Lindsey Hopkins.
We completely redid a 1965 18’ Chris Craft Super Sport for its original owner that was completely destroyed in Hurricane Charlie. The owner was our very first customer. You will find many of our restorations at Boat Shows through out the country.
Currently Doug has taken the lines off another boat and is building an E Service Runabout for a customer whose father owned one. He has just completed new decks on a 20’ Chris Craft Riviera and will be putting on a new bottom as well. Upon completion the boat will be shipped to Germany. Maintenance work is also being done on a 20’ Chris Craft Custom.
