Olive Mae is a 1966 MFG Edinboro owned by Janet Lowry. Olive Mae is trailered from Lake Ronkonkoma & Peconic, NY. This picture was taken at Lake Wallenpaupack, NY. Janet says, “The boat was free through a local ad in the paper, and I had only taken it because I wanted the original steering wheel, but then found the transom was in very good condition (which is a weak spot on these boats) so I’ve kept her and used her primarily for cruising & water skiing.”
Leagh & Lynn Gerllays of Surrey B.C. are sharing this 1964 Grew Cruiser utility named Woody. Woody is 20 1/2 feet long with a full 8 ft beam, an inline Chev six,250 hp Mercruiser that we restored over 30 years ago. We take it for day runs from the Crescent Beach Marina in Surrey B.C.
