Steelcraft
The Steelcraft rusting in front of Fay's was the type of boat used by the Marine Patrol as a buoy tender and for dragging the grappling hook. One of my earliest memories on the lake was having the Marine Patrol dragging Braun Bay for 3 days following an accident just south of the rafting area (not that anyone rafted in the 60's) a couple of hundred feet offshore. Stays in my head the fine line in always getting back to port safely.....and the responsibility the operator takes in taking guests out on a cruise. Biggest difference between a car and a boat is that you can't pull over, stop and get out if something fails.
