YEAR: 1957

Greavette became well known for these practical forward drive boats in the 1960's, and were the designs that lead to the modern fibreglass runabouts. At only 18', the boat has a large capacity for passengers and cargo.

LENGTH: 18' 

"Betty" became a favourite 'run-around' boat for Paul & Mary Lou Little early on in their cottaging days. Many people in the Muskoka region prefer a "woodie" to get around opposed to a modern "plastic" boat.

BUILDER:

GREAVETTE BOATS

After more than 50 years of service, the original bottom could no longer be repaired. Betty received a new "bullet-proof" Breen bottom, and total refinishing inside and out to bring her to "better than new" condition. 

Acquired by Ross Militello in fall 2023, she now resides in Napa, California.
