<p>created page, added history from forum, added boats in use link</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Logo and Additional History Needed. Please contact us to edit or contribute to this page.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''History by Andreas Jordahl Rhude''<br /> Classic Boats, Inc. was one of the many boat firms that was operated by Robert F. Smith of the Chicago area.<br /> <br /> He and his brother owned a marine dealership (Smith Marine) in the Berwyn area in the 1960s. They along with their father purchased [[Dunphy|Dunphy Boat Corp.]] of Oshkosh, WI in 1963 and quickly drove it into the ground.<br /> <br /> About 1970 Smith Marine opened another dealership at Sequoit Harbor near Antioch. He also started Classic Boats, Inc. about that time, manufacturing fiberglass boats. I have no clue how long they lasted. They were at 1 Roselle Road, Roselle, IL 60172 in Chicagoland. <br /> <br /> Smith purchased [[Sea Sprite|Sea Sprite Boat Co.]] at Crescent City, IL on Friday the 13th of April 1984. Melvin Redeker, the seller, never got paid in full.<br /> <br /> Smith eventually had his fingers in many other boat-building firms which he operated under the umbrella of United Marine Corporation, including [[Moomba]], [[Skier's Choice]], [[Sea Sprite]], [[Sea Raider]], [[Cheetah]], [[Renken]], and others. [[Mark Twain]] may have been one of them.<br /> <br /> Smith filed for chapter XI bankruptcy on 25 April 2002 with $97 million in claims against him and his businesses!<br /> <br /> I have never seen literature of Classic Boats, Inc. nor do I know how many boats they built.<br /> <br /> <br /> [http://www.fiberglassics.com/index.php?searchword=Classic+Boat+Inc.&amp;ordering=newest&amp;searchphrase=exact&amp;limit=20&amp;Itemid=88&amp;option=com_search Classic Boats in Use]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Main Page|Back to Main Page]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Illinois]]<br /> [[Category:Fiberglass]]</div>
