Dad's design idea gets published!

NEW DESIGN (from the Glen-L newsletter!)

If you were at the Gathering of Boatbuilders in Guntersville , Alabama last year, you'll definitely remember Porter Harvey's Sweet Caroline. Porter adapted his version of our dory to use an air-cooled Wisconsin motor which was a really ingenious set-up. Glen was particularly interested in his forward, neutral, reverse mechanism and with Porter's assistance, has developed it for you! This new design is called the "Harvey FNR" and we will have it ready in a couple of weeks. This is basically an assembly to provide an FNR mechanism for motors up to about 15HP. I'll let you know as soon as it's available… it's on my desk now for the final editing and processing.


Dad got this email from the Glen-L people! How exciting this is for him and how proud we are of him!! It is so exciting to watch dad with his "projects" but to see the recognition that he has gotten for this is just really wild!
