Most recent update: August 30, 2021.

Fisher Boat Works began life in the early 30s as Russell J. Pouliot Boat Works.  It was acquired by William P. Fisher in 1937, but closed after the war.  The yard was located on Motor Boat Lane, where the Gregory Marina is now.  See it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please contact me at timcolton@aol.com
