Beacon Boat Company

“After Googling Beacon Boat Co. recently, I found your book “Boats Made in Holland. My name is Pam Munkwitz. My dad owned the Beacon when I was in grade school. I haven’t been back to Holland since we moved to Portland, Or. in the early 60’s. So my memories of that time are somewhat foggy. But I do remember the Beacon! I ordered your book and it arrived the other day! I was so happy to see my dad included. Reading that section and seeing the photos really took me back. It also helped put my vague memories into context. My dad, Orville (everyone called him “Munk”) died in ’85. But I know it would make him so happy to see the Beacon included in your history of boat building in Michigan. And thank you for giving me something that solidifies those days a bit for me!

Fondly,
Pam

I have been interested in the history of the Lakensea/Lake 'n Sea brand since discovering that the brand was built in Holland, Michigan from 1960-1961 while researching for a book titled Boats Made in Holland: A Michigan Tradition. Since then I have owned and sold and donated many Lake 'n Sea boats to new owners seeking this unique brand.
