Old wood boats near Rice?

[AaronM]

Does anyone have any info about the old wooden boats near Rice MN on highway 10? I know that seems vague, but if you've ever driven past them or seen them, you'll know what

I'm talking about. I've always wanted to stop there and see if any are for sale, but was never quite sure on the situation. Thanks for any help!

The guy repairs the boats. I'd guess there's a pretty long waiting list as more seem to come in than go out. A very reliable source told me the guy has a deficient personality.

I have seen them also but if I was interested I would stop and ask. All he can do is say no.

Some are for sale, some are in for restoration. Stopped in years ago... but I was just nosin' around, I don't have the time for a wood boat, though there are few things as beautiful as a fully restored one.

Drove by there last night and noticed that one of the boats fell off it's 'blocks' and the bow nosed into the side of the neighboring craft... probably get a good deal on one of those two!

Good Luck!
