It is unclear whether this company began solely as a distributor or a distributor and manufacturer selling Starliner Boats. However, by 1960, Boat Distribution, Inc. advertised that it sourced boats from five manufacturers it appears the company sourced some boat models from separate manufacturers (see 1960 distributor packet below).
