rare boats When I got lost coming home from Carbondale , I stumbled on this guy . He said he has several old boats that he has rebuilt. He also said that he had dozens of TeeNee trailers that he has collected. He only buys very low production number boats . He said he sold a woo Correct Craft to a woodworker in town . He said they were rebuilding it very quickly .

Pat,
Cool site and collector! I have seen one of his boats at one of our Blackhawk shows several years ago. I think I meet Bill too and do remember he was a very interesting person. |

That is sure a lot of nice boats Pat.Which one did you end up with? Did Wendy really believe that you got "lost"?.My Dad saw and took pic's of a red Herter's Flying Fish in of all places Key Largo. Windshield had been damaged by a tree branch. He has said now he wished he'd bought it. He has a late 60's Herters 16' open boat with a '64 35hp Merc that he took to Florida since he sold the Shamrock he had there.I remember going up to Beaver Dam to pick it up.

Pat,
Bill bought 4 trailers from me a few months ago, including a Tee Nee. Met him in Quincy Il a year ago. He has mainly outboard boats (last I knew 40 plus) and really doesnt sell many of them. |

Really cool boats. The 50's/60's stuff is addicting. I spotted this old Crosby on a TeeNee a few weeks ago and fought off the urge to knock on the guys door.
