One of my fellow members of the Indiana Chapter of ACBS has an Antique Boat Shop curiously called "The Antique Boat Shop" in Fort Wayne Indiana. They work somewhat exclusively on classic runabouts. Chris-Craft, Century, Gar Wood, etc. The do some very nice work and have a straight forward philosophy. They have a current projects page (updated regularly) with very detailed descriptions of the boats, the individual histories, and the work intended. They also have a similar page of recent projects. There are a many interesting projects with lots of photos. I've found their project pages to be a very enjoyable read, and I know you will too.
