Three of the above boats were boat used.
The following all were boats owned by my father that I got to use.
He was a franchised dealer for Cruisers, Wolverine, Coronet, Ancarrow,
Skimmar, Su Mark, Penn Yan, Arkansas Traveler, Old Town, and several
others, not all at the same time.
The Century and the Lightning were trade-ins. The Luders he had built in
the late 1940s.
Cruisers, Inc., Mackinac 22
Century Coronado
Bill Luders 16, as sweet a sailboat as ever caught a breeze.
Century 19' wood lapstrake with side wheel steering
Cruisers, Inc. 18' and 16' wood lapstrakes
Wolverines. Molded plywood. Gorgeous. Several. 14,15,17
footers
with various
Evinrudes
Lighting class sailboat
Botved Coronet with twin 50 hp Evinrudes. Interesting boat.
Aristocraft (a piece of junk...13', fast, held together with
spit)
Alcort Sunfish
Ancarrow Marine Aquiflyer. 22' footer with two Caddy
Crusaders.
Guaranteed 60
mph. In the late 1950's.
Skimmar brand skiff
Arkansas Traveler fiberglass bowrider (I think it was a
bowrider)
Dyer Dhow
Su-Mark round bilge runabout, fiberglass
Penn Yan runabouts. Wood.
Old Town wood and canvas canoe
Old Town sailing canoe...different than above canoe
Why don't you come out and admit that you lied about your ownership of
all of these boats.
He did admit it. Those were daddy's boats and Harry had permission to use
them.
Or mine to use on an exclusive basis. My dad had his own boats to use,
and rarely bothered with the smaller boats I got to use. I was just a
kid, but the Sunfish was mine, as were a Wolverine, the Lightning, the
L16 (my dad had no interest in sailing by the time I inherited the
Luders), the Skimmar and several others.
Basically, I had a new boat to use every season from the age of seven to
the age of 18, and sometimes two new boats.The boats I had were always
for sale as "demos," and sometimes they were sold from under me.
The L-16 was easily the most beautiful boat. You've probably never seen one.
