Storage
Heated Space
The school has a never ending supply of documents as well as many circulating boatbuilding books. A heated storage space allows off-site storage to preserve these important documents and books.
Flat Filing Cabinet
Through the years, the school has collected an amazing collection of boatbuilding plans. A large, flat filing cabinet allows us to safeguard and make these plans accessible to future classes.
Industrial Lumber Storage Racks
With a growing class comes a growing amount of materials. Storage racks are a tidy, safe, and accessible method to store lumber for projects.

Thank you Duke & Jeanne Shold
Vehicles
Great Condition Pick-Up Truck
Boatbuilding constitutes a large amount of materials. A pick-up truck in excellent condition with low mileage allows us to pick up orders without dealing with timely and costly vehicle fixes.
Heavy Duty Flatbed Trailer
Sometimes the amount and size of the materials needed for boatbuilding is too big for a pick-up truck. A heavy duty flatbed trailer ensures we are able to pick-up, move, and haul large lumber orders and heavy stationary tools.
Heavy Duty Adjustable Boat Trailer
The Boat School is unique in building and restoring a large variety of small and large boats. A heavy duty adjustable boat trailer provides us with the freedom and ability to move and deliver boats, saving us money but not having to hire outside companies.
Golf Cart
Tours are an important step in helping students decide on their educational goals. Having a small vehicle would help make tours more comfortable between the upper and lower campus during inclement weather.
