Welcome to Kruitz Kraft!
Hello, I'm Dan Kruitz an avid vintage boat enthusiast and antique outboard collector. My goal with this site is to improve the antique boating experience by offering custom built outboard boats from vintage designs. I also offer restoration services for vintage outboard boats and motors.
Classic Boat Designs from the 1920's-60's
If you're looking for something to mess about in, or something just right to showcase an antique outboard, I can build it. I'm now open to a new boat project - if you're looking for that certain something in a boat and can't get it from an aluminum fishing punt, drop me a line, as I have many more plans than shown here.
Why Wooden Boats?
"Wooden boats? Aren't those the ones that rotted out long ago?" In some cases yes, but did you know fiberglass boats rot out as well? With modern technologies and updated construction techniques allow wooden boats to be made to last longer than ever before.
