Larson Industries once own Larson boats. They bought out Northland who sold skis. toboggans, hockey sticks etc. Northland also owned Lund Ski factory. Larson decided to phase out the Northland products and turn the factory on Salem Street in Laconia to produced Larson boats. This only lasted a very short time and Larson Industries went bankrupt. Genmar eventually took over the Larson boat line. I think the Lund name was held over from Lund skis. Lund line were aluminum boats and Larson were a combination of aluminum and fiberglass.
