First delivered to Zucker Marine in Cleveland, 1948. Purchased by my Grandfather Hans J. Swendsboe in 1950 and docked at Rocky River (Ohio) Marina.

In 1957 Grandpa moved to Halifax MA and was kept in the water on Monponsett Pond. Upon Grandpas passing in 1960, the boat given to my Dad Hans E. Swendsboe. The House in Halifax was sold in 1965 and the boat was put on a trailer and moved to Dedham MA.

We did many day trips to lakes in Massachusetts, Maine and even Cape Cod. By 1972 the boat was moved around back of the house, turned upside down and almost forgotten. In 1978 I restored/refinished the boat, just for something to do. During the process we became aware of the Antique & Classic boat show at Weirs Beach NH.

The boat Restoration and Refinishing was completed in time to attend the Boat Show. After attending the show and meeting many great people, we became committed Antique Boaters.

Since then we have attended many shows and taken many trips in New England. Now the boat rests comfortably on the trailer and in the garage in Nashua NH.

Now, 4 Generations in the same family: Hans J. Swendsboe to Hans E. Swendsboe to Neil Swendsboe to Skyler Swendsboe.
