Cedar "Gunning Garvey" Builder Info?

[Hal I]

Anybody got any clues on who the builder of this jewel might have been?
What I know: It was built in Jersey sometime before 2000; the belief was in the 1960's/1970's. Construction is cedar covered in glass with metal capped "ice runner" dual keels. The only thing not original (including the canvas dodger) is the foldin oarlock "cleats" that I rebuilt in mahogany to replace the original oak. Interior was fully treated in Cuprinol sometime before it was (sadly) discontinued due to VOC regs.

Boat is a 12 footer like most of the older Jersey boats and goes like a little bandit with that 55 Lb Nissan two-stroke. I'm getting too old and decrepit to hunt her these days but I would love to find out who built her before I try to find a young hunter who's properly appreciative of the old girl to pass her on to.

Welcome to the site. We have a number of members who live in the NJ areas and might be able to help out.
In the mean time, please change your username to your real name, can be either you first name or last name, or some combination thereof.
Its been a rule since day one that we all use real names on the DHBP.
Thanks! I hope someone can offer some insight, its a very cool little garvey.

That's a nice Garvey.

It's built in the Carl Adams style, I believe Mr. Adams was not active during the 70s. Perhaps the 60s he would've been. There are however many other Garvey builders located along Tuckerton, Greate Bay, and Barnegat area.

Sam Devlin took a lot of inspiration for his boats from New Jersey Gunning garvey

You may want to reach out to Bobby Keeney. Or Scott swain. They are both experts on the New Jersey gunning Garvey

Beautiful boat! Love the lines, I agree reach out to Bobby Keeney he seems to be the best resource for these...

Tuckerton seems to be the hub of garvey building along the Jersey shore. I would also suggest asking the Tuckerton Seaport museum.

The Seaport no longer has a boat builder on staff.

I can assure you there was is no one there but has any more information than Bobby would

How wide is it ? I am friends with the Adams family they live in port republic. Their great grandson Dean is a little younger than me he's a great guy. I live in south Jersey and if it's a 48" wide version I would love to take a look at it. I would also buy it if we can come to an agreement.
