The Logbook

Built in an era when boats were crafted with pride and meant to be used, the 1959 Bestoes 17’ reflects the simple confidence of classic lake runabouts. Clean lines, purposeful proportions, and a no-nonsense layout made it equally at home pulling skiers, cruising with family, or slipping across glassy water at daybreak.

This boat represents what we love most about vintage craft — honest design, durable construction, and a style that never tries too hard. Restored with respect for its original character, the Boestoe carries forward the spirit of late-1950s boating: functional, fun, and built to last.

It’s not just a boat from another time — it’s a reminder of how boating was meant to feel.

Preserving the past. Restoring the ride..

Compact, capable, and purpose-built, the 1999 Rendova 12’ was designed to work hard and go anywhere. With its shallow draft and nimble footprint, this boat earned its reputation as a reliable utility platform — equally comfortable as a tender, a harbor runner, or a no-frills day boat built for real use.

What draws us to the Rendova is its straightforward design and versatility. There’s nothing flashy here — just a solid hull, practical layout, and the kind of function-first thinking that makes a boat endlessly useful. Restored with care and modern updates where it matters, this Rendova keeps its original intent intact while gaining a new lease on life.

It’s a reminder that great boats don’t need to be big or complicated — they just need to be right.

Simple. Capable. Ready for the next adventure.

The next restoration is always waiting to be found.
