    ----While Van Dam does make spectacular boats, I would say that Mayscrafts are at least their equals and they have an incomparable history. The Mayea's were building boats almost before Chris Craft and they are still going. I saw one of the best last weekend at a local watering hole. Absolutely the most beautiful wood boat I have ever seen.
    ----Woobs,,,Next time you are on our side of the Blue Water Bridge call me and Ill take you thru their shop!........Bill S

    I have to agree that Mays craft does build a very beautiful boat and not to mention that in the 20's there plant was called Mayea Boat and Aeroplane Works which is still located in Fair Haven Mich and to tell you the truth I really like there 19 foot single cockpit or Gentlemen's Speedster .

    Doing good Artie , keeping busy with my Magnums & Donzi's & my friends boat. Need one more back operation but that can wait till after Michigan's short boating season. Working on the Magnum Sedan I picked up years ago, when there is some money left from the social security check we get a little more done on it.

    Mark sorry to hear that you will need more back surgery and to tell you the truth it sure is a Bitch getting old and not to mention that it is great to see that you are still plugin away doing your thing on the Magnums & Donzi's . Just curious is there anything ( project boat ) available your way that I might be interested in 16 to 21 foot ?
