When people think of antique and classic boats, the assumption is usually that they're made of wood - wooden boats have been in production far longer than any other type of boat. Once the technology of fibreglass made its way into the marine industry, the game was changed considerably. Not only, were boat builders given a blank slate of creativity, but the affordability and accessibility of these boats meant that builders started popping up everywhere, and more and more people were able to get hooked on boating.
In this segment we connect with some collectors - Murray Parnell, John Gullick, Tim Jackson, Wayne Robinson & Ken Kirk - who have upwards of 70 boats EACH! We take a look at some of the radical designs and lavish lines of boats from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, including some wild prototypes and one-offs that barely saw the light of day.
