Greetings again! I'm posting this as a comment because I was still not
able to find Ned Pierce but I did discover info on Penn Yan, a boat
building company, where he must have worked:
"For over 81 years Penn Yan has been building boats with Integrity.
Yeah... that's a long time, longer than just about any other boat
company. Over the years, Penn Yan Boats has introduced many
revolutionary ideas that have changed the face of boating."
"Plaston Hulls Of the 20's and 30's
Stern Drive Technology Of the 30's
Triotite Construction Of the 40's
Thermoplastic Composite Of the 50's (The Forerunner of Today's
Fiberglass)
Tunnel Drive Technology Of the 70's"
*******
So the boat was built at Penn Yan according to the info you provided
in your clarification, and then bought or taken to Cayuga, I'd think.
Below there is info on how to contact Penn Yan for older models' info:
Dear Valued Penn Yan Owner:
We welcome your inquiries about parts and information for your older
Penn Yan boat. It is always a pleasure to hear from another satisfied
Penn Yan boat owner.
Due to liability factors and a complete computerization of our
records, I regretfully admit that we are unable to provide specific
information on construction procedures or engineering on any models
built before 1987.
We do, however, have full color reprints of the original catalog pages
which very often will include specifications, construction info, etc.
and may prove useful. These are available at a cost of $ 12.00 per
page. We also have reprints of the original owners manuals that were
delivered with boats sold between 1968 and 1983. These are available
at a cost of $10.00 each. To order these items, send your check along
with a detailed description of your boat including year and model.
Don't forget to include your return address and email address or phone
number.
Very often your local marine retailer can supply standard components
(such as hardware or wiring) or information using their knowledge of
proper safety factors and procedures.
Most miscellaneous fiberglass parts and all underwater running gear is
available through our customer service department. If you find
yourself in need of any such items, please contact us.
For engine or drive-train information you will need to contact the
engine manufacturer directly.
If you wish to inquire further about your older Penn Yan, please
e-mail as much detailed information as you can, don't forget to give
us your name, address and phone number. Send us a detailed description
of the parts or application. PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH PHOTOS TO YOUR
E-MAIL. We would like to be as helpful as possible and this
information will help us research your request fully. If we need
photos or detailed sketches, we will ask that you 'SNAIL-MAIL' them to
us.
We invite you to join our Classic Boats mailing list for automatic
notification of timely information. Our mailing address is:
Penn Yan Boat Co.
P.O. Box 228, Cheriton, VA 23316
Phone: (757) 331-1818 Fax: (757) 331-1666
******************
You may be able to find info on Ned Pierce through them. If you feel
this information is worth any amount, please let me know, though I'll
bet you've already researched Penn Yan. If you do find this info
useful, please post thusly and I'll claim a fee: you may alter the fee
in your account/question preferences.
I hope this additional information is of assistance in your quest.
