WELCOME ABOARD!
Swanson Boat Company:
"Why settle for second best?"
Rodger C. Swanson, Proprietor
Drawing on 37 years of experience, Swanson Boat Company specializes in products and services for the tradition-minded oarsman.
Our goal is to enhance your rowing experience. Our Custom Fit
approach includes plans, design/build, oars, hardware and accessories
tailored as a unified package to best suit your needs. Your hands-on
participation can be as little or as great as you like. We can assist you
in "doing it all" yourself, or we'll do the building, fabricating and fitting
out from start to any degree of completion.
Please give us a call at (860)299-6502, or
