Is that the bridge in Kennerdale? Does your boat have any connection to the owners of the boat repair shop in Kennerdale (up river from the bridge). I don't know if they are still in business today. The reason is this: about 20 years ago I went to that shop with the tag from my 1959 PennYan Atlantic 18. They were shocked to see it. A gentleman from the back came out and asked me if I owned the boat the tag came from. He said that his mother and father were the original owners of my boat. It was information I was happy to know. I wonder if they were the original owners of your boat, too. It makes sense that they would buy another but bigger PennYan 6 or 7 years after yours. I would love to know. I live about a mile west of EauClair.
No, the bridge is in Foxburg. Also Charlie Myers dad owned Kennerdale Marine from 1948 until Charlie closed it about 2005 or so. I have had 3 Penn Yan Swifts, one was a 13 ft, that was sold new by Charlie in 1959, and I bought it as a kid in 1963, but sold it when I went to college, I did buy it back several years ago and restored it, but since have sold it. Charlie dad was a direct Penn Yan dealer for years. That is all I know. I now live in Foxburg. Thanks Rick Conn
@@rickconn5293 Thank you for the reply. Now it makes sense. I didn't know he was a Penn Yan dealer. It came with an exceptional dual axle trailer, which I assumed since they were in the business they had access to a good trailer. I guess I should have known Foxburg bridge. We get in there a few times a year and drift in tubes and Kayaks down to Parker. Incidentally, that island near the Clarion, which is full of black walnuts, I found an Indian "nutting stone"-used to crack open walnuts-go figure. My wife and I have owned our Penn Yan Atlantic 18 for probably 25 years? I've never taken it on the river, though. I don't want to hit the rocks. We take it to Moraine or Shenango. Many years ago, I promised myself to never be without a motorcycle or boat. Luckily, it has come true. Thanks again for the reply. Perhaps I'll see you at the river some day. If I see your Swift, I'll make an effort to contact you. Have a great day.
The fuel pumps on Mark 25s are always audible.
