Penn Yan boats are exceptionally high quality classics, built in the
finger lakes region of NY. Google didn't turn up a complete history of
the company...this was the most detail I could find:

"For over 81 years Penn Yan has been building boats with Integrity.
Yeah... that's a long time, longer than just about any other boat
company. Over the years, Penn Yan Boats has introduced many
revolutionary ideas that have changed the face of boating.

"Plaston Hulls Of the 20's and 30's
Stern Drive Technology Of the 30's
Triotite Construction Of the 40's
Thermoplastic Composite Of the 50's (The Forerunner of Today's
Fiberglass)
Tunnel Drive Technology Of the 70's"

Google does provie enough bits and pieces of information--catalogs pages
of older models, brokers who specialize in Penn Yan boats, snippets of
discussions about 'em on various boating sites, parts sources etc to
give you a feel for what they are.

Most Penn Yan owners are a "cult" similar to the owners of specific
vintage cars...they restore 'em to original and keep 'em pristine. It's
rare to find one that isn't, and when you do, its value is greatly
reduced. So if you're just looking for something to run around in, I
suggest you pass and focus on finding a good "ordinary" production
boat....'cuz treating a Penn Yan that way would be a shame.
