Came across a great write-up about my grandfather and wanted to add a couple pics of his 1959 Norseman boat. Built by the Bellingham Boat Co, he purchased the rough and mostly incomplete hull. Suited him well as he was a Norwegian immigrant originally from the fjords of Norway. My dad swept floors there so grandpa received a 10% discount. A woodworker by profession and hobby, he went to work on completing the deck, interior, etc. Windshield compliments of a smashed 1955 Ford found in a junkyard! Since grandpa died, we've replaced the old 35 hp Evinrude with a 55 hp Suzuki and refinished all surfaces. Don't worry, the old "Tee-Nee" trailer (shown) was also replaced with a solid EZ Loader a couple years back.
