Sixty years have passed since they built the first Skeeter, which just so happened to be the world’s first bass boat. Since then, they’ve been setting the standard, raising the bar and leaving the rest of the boating industry in a wake of innovation. It was way back in 1948 that Holmes Thurmond designed and launched the first Skeeter boat. By no means was it the last “first” for Skeeter. In 1961, they built the first bass boat from fiberglass, a huge leap forward in performance and durability. Then in 1975, Skeeter introduced the “Wrangler,” the first V-bottom bass boat ever built. As time passed, Skeeter introduced a host of other innovations: the first full-length rod box, the first bass boat rated for a 150 HP, and the first to introduce “space age” composite materials with the X-Treme and X-Cel composite construction.

From then on, cutting-edge technology and attention to detail have been the key ingredients of securing value for long-term owner satisfaction. It’s evident that Skeeter’s philosophy, “engineered like no other,” permeates everything they do – from the way they build their boats, to the courtesy they extend each time you walk into a dealership. Beginning with the extensive efforts taken in the methods of manufacturing, all the way to the winner’s circle, Skeeter’s pursuit of perfection has become clearly evident as the best engineered bass boats on the water today. Hard to believe it’s been 60 years since we invented the bass boat. Looking back on all the traditions they created, it’s amazing how far things have come.

A silver-haired man trolls for walleyes along a stretch of rocky shoreline on a Minnesota lake. His old 10-hp Johnson Sea Horse chugs away happily as it always has. His boat, built in 1946 and as silver as his hair, bears the name “Aluminum Boat Company.” He takes nostalgic pride in fishing from the preserved vintage craft. As the old man trolls, he passes another boat working in the opposite direction – under the silent power of a bow-mounted electric trolling motor. The big fishing rig, a Crestliner Tournament Series 202, measures 20 feet. Within its smooth, sleek welded hull is every convenience an angler could hope for.

For 2008, Crestliner overhauled it’s pontoon line and introduced a redesigned product. New models of boats were introduced as well. Crestliner continues to grow and innovate.

For those of us who love our sleek wooden boats, especially the original Trojan boats, 1949 was a year to remember. It was four years after the end of World War II, with U.S. manufacturers still converting to peace-time uses of construction materials no longer needed for the war effort – steel, aluminum, rubber, nylon, and newer products such as plastic and vinyl. Novelties of 1949 included inflatable plastic boats, and a surfboard coated with fiberglass. That year two young men tired of their jobs at Norman Owens Boat Company, and decided to leave to form their own company. Jim McQueen and Harper Hull traveled to Troy, New York, where they bought the Cottrell-Spoore Boatworks, a small builder of wooden racing boats and runabouts.

McQueen and Hull renamed the company The Trojan Boat Company and moved operations to York, Pennsylvania. There they bought a dairy barn, converted it to factory use, and started to build boats in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country where they had access to the local Amish work force, hard working and skilled craftsmen. Not long afterward they moved their main factory to nearby Lancaster. In January 2001, when Bob Cushman interviewed Larry Warner and John Leed, keepers of Trojan Boat archives, Warner recalled, Problem was they didnt have any idea on how to run an assembly line. So they thought, Lets go back and get ol Ernie Warner and get him over here with them. So Trojan at last ceased production of wooden boats and began production of fiberglass boats.
