These keel boats were researched, designed and constructed by A.C. Butch Bouvier with the dedicated help of many local volunteers. They are the property of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Mr. Bouvier is looking for other interesting historical projects to pursue. Replicas are available from full size down to models . They can be of museum quality for display only or fully serviceable.
Orders take several months to fill.
