Grampa's Boat
This 1954 Peterborough Aqua Flyer cedar strip runabout was restored over 6 years with interruptions for kids and many other fun things. All ribs, keel, keelson, stem, and seats were replaced and the bottom was fibreglassed. The restoration was a family effort involving three generations. The official re-launching took place on June 15, 2013. Grampa’s Boat is a pleasure to drive and will tour the lakes around Huntsville, Ontario, making frequent trips to the ice cream store.
