Colby's 1957 Duratech S-147-RD. (Sealine runabout, 14 ft.) Full boat restoration done fall of 2006, motor restored spring of 2007.  What a beauty!  Better shot of the interior below.

Colby's Sealine once again - check the workmanship of the restored interior.  Gorgeous!

Brian's 1957 S-13-R. (Sealine runabout, 13 ft.)  After restoring this classic, Brian scored 97 of 100 points at an ACBS sponsored show in Ohio two years ago, and took first place in the OB class.  Nice job! 

Here is Bruce out for a run in the excellent Sealine 15 foot runabout he just recently acquired; lots of potential for restoration and Bruce will be making a project of it.  Stay tuned!

Bruce and his Sealine once again; this picture is worth a thousand words.  Boating does not get any better than this. 

Custom restoration on this 1957 13 foot Sealine runabout by Ken the "FlyinAce".  Check his other (non-Duratech) boats on the Classic Boathouse website.

Pete's 1958 16' Duratech Sealine S168.

Here is the 3-generation story of Brian's 1964 Orion.  Brian's grandfather Norman bought the boat new in '64, took his son Norm (Brian's dad) out on many an outing and eventually passed the boat on to him.   
continued at right -->

Norm followed Dad's example, cleaning the boat as many or more times as they actually took it out. Norm passed it onto Brian, who continues the care and preservation of the boat for yet another generation. 

Maurice's 18 foot 1964 Galaxy.  Maurice bought it from his father in 1965 after having owned a 16 foot Duratech as well.  In the 80's, Maurice did some resto work - seats, carpet, paint, emblems.  In 2000 he dropped a MerCruiser 140 I/O in her.  Nice boat!

Al and his friend Andi showing off his very nice ('62?) Duratech Marlin, great condition!

Dennis' 14 foot 1957 Duratech Sealine S147RD.  Nice job on the custom restore!

Patti and Tom's 1963 Duratech Neptune. Restoration done in 2003, and the Duradecking is in great shape!

BEFORE: JoeMan's 1964 Duratech Neptune 16.  This one was trashed; brought it home in Jan of 06.  Transom and floor rotted, seats gone, paint needed stripped, broken windscren, full of dead frogs, algae and bee hives! Project boat! > > >

AFTER: Custom restoration was done thru the spring of 2006. JoeMan and the kids out cruising the Neptune in Lake St. Clair, Michigan - this pic taken spring '07.

Mark's modified S-19 Duratech.  Believed to be a 1961.  The Thompson windshield lets some nice air in when he's got the bimini top up.

Mark in his S-19 out on the lake.  Had to post this one as well, since it captures the moment.

Steve in his Duratech Skier.  Returning to the dock after some morning fishing perhaps?  Nice shot.

Bob's 14 ft. Duratech Marlin.

Matt's 1968 Penn Yan built Duratech Orion.  Dad bought it new in '68 and passed it onto Matt in 1999.  Check out the original vintage photo from when she was new!  > > >

Ben's 1958 Sealine 148R.  Ben is considering some resto work. This is already a nice boat with great potential.

Adam and his boy Aiken in their 1960 Sealine S14R with the 'sparkling bronze' decking.  They obviously feel as I do...that even when not in the water, it's still enjoyable to sit in the Duratech.

Art and his boys Harry and Graham out in their '57 Sealine 13.  (Pictured above, when Ken owned it 2 years ago; Ken subsequently sold it to Art) Art is consider an original restore on the "Hornet".  Originally had the red duradecking.

Bob and Diane's Duratech Neptune.  Great condition, Completely original! Mike and the family floating in their 17 foot Duratech SportBoat.  Not many of these around, nice to have you in the gallery!

Duratech 14 foot Sealine, 1955.  The red windshield is quite a unique customization.

"Grandpa's" is Lonnie's Duratech Sealine.  Nice custom resto.  
Hang on, kid! 

Nat's 18" Duratech Galaxy.

Bob's Duratech Orion, just bought this vessel after boating season '07.  Bob plans to restore this one.  In the meantime, it's unique and very colorful!
