A lifelong passion for wooden boats, and a family legacy
It all started when...
Hamilton Armstrong started his business in 1984 in San Diego, California. Having cut his teeth in the industry building and restoring boats for other people, Hamilton wanted to begin a tradition and a stable future and legacy for his family. After moving back to his home territory of Central New York, he set down roots - building a shop and expanding it multiple times to fit larger and swifter boats.
Hamilton has established a reputation as being the go-to for show placing and even Best of Show restoration jobs.
A family business from the beginning
