Old Time Boat Co. has restored more than one hundred boats since 1976 including “Idyll Oaks”, a 1924 28’ Hutchinson for the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York. “Idyll Oaks” was the feature boat at the 40th Anniversary Antique Boat Show & Auction. It was the boat that inspired the first antique boat show and was built at Hutchinson Boat Works, Alexandria Bay, New York. “Dauntless”, a 38’ 2000 Commuter/Express Cruiser owned by J. W. Marriott, Jr. which took a first place in reproduction at the Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire Boat Show. The bare hull was built in Australia and the completion and alterations were performed by Old Time Boat Co. With over 40 years of wood body restoration experience, you can trust Old Time Boat Co.

Back in the spring of 1979 working out of a two car garage, Gary Scherb, founder of the company, began turning a hobby into a full time business. The Old Time Boat Co. started with the knowledge that Gary picked up over the years of being fascinated with wooden boats. Working on boats at a marina in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey gave Gary the interest that later was to develop into today’s Old Time Boat Co. In 1999 the business moved to Mt. Dora, Florida from Sarasota where it operated a 13,000 sq. foot building with ten employees. Currently the business occupies 8,000 sq. feet of space located at 28206 County Road 561 in Tavares. The business is now managed by Doug Scherb, Gary and Ingrid’s son. Doug is a 1993 graduate of The Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design in Kennebunkport, Maine and has been a vital part of the business for over twenty years. We like to restore boats to be used. The challenge is to bring back an antique boat to its original beauty and reliability. � Old Time Boat Co. Inc - All Rights Reserved. Old Time Boat Co., Inc.
