Goodhue's Boat Yard
Remember well hanging out at the boat yard and drooling over the Quicksilver engines, the Hydrodynes and Glastron ski boats that they sell. The old wood building burn around 1959 and was replace with a cement building. Goodhue sold the building to the state and the state added the second floor and the back attached structure. The weight of the second floor actually cause the downfall of the original structure according to a civil engineer.
The Quonset building in the rear was built by my uncle for Goodhue using WWII surplus materials. My uncle learn the trade when he was in Europe after the war to help the Germans rebuild their country.
