I am looking to learn more about a wooden boat which has been in the family for many years.
It is a square stern lapstrake construction - 15ft length with a 48" beam. It has double oar locks.
There is a metal tag on the front deck of the boat - "Fox River Boat Works, West DuPere, Wis."
This boat has been in the Pentwater, MI area since before 1960, at least. The family was from Wheaton, IL.
Is it possible to narrow down it's identification to manufacturer?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Steve
