HistoryThis vessel was manufactured in Algonac Michigan, purchased new in 1960 and delivered in Detroit by The Gregory Boat Company. The first owner was an automotive dealer in the Detroit area and moored the vessel in St. Clair Shores.
The second owner purchased the vessel in 1965. He was a business man in the flower bulb business from Mt. Clemens, MI area who used the boat to vacation with his family in northern Lake Huron, Lake Superior and on Lake St. Clair. The boat was named Tamba. The vessel proved to be very convenient while anchoring off shore for long periods of time with its 32 volt systems, large water and holding tanks, and 10 kilowatt generator. When not in use, the vessel was summer and winter stored in a covered boat well on the Clinton River in Harrison Township, MI. In 1970, the original 430 Lincoln motors were replaced with 427 Ford motors. These motors provided more horse power than the original motors with replacement parts more readily available. The vessel was sold in 1978 to its current ownerââ¬â¢s family.
The third owner of the vessel was a businessman in the steel fabrication business from the Mt. Clemens, MI area who renamed the boat Arrivederci. In 1978 the hard top of the vessel was extended. This greatly increased the usability of the boat. The vessel was used for vacationing in Lakes Huron, St. Clair, and Erie. The vessel was occasionally used as a press boat for the Port Huron to Mackinaw sailboat race and various other events. When not in use, the vessel was summer stored in a covered boat well on the Clinton River in Harrison Township, MI, and winter stored out of the water in the same boat well.
In 1993 the vessel ownership was transferred to the third ownerââ¬â¢s son, a USCG Master Captain 100 Ton and Licensed Professional Engineer, who continues to operate the boat today.In 1995 the navigation electronics were updated to the most up to date equipment at the time, including GPS, Loran, Chart Plotter, Auto Pilot and Radar all linked together via SeaTalk. In 1997 the motors were changed to the current set of 454 Crusaders with Borg Warner transmissions. In 1999 the aft deck enclosure was changed to an EZ2CY system in sliding tracks as well as the bottom being sanded smooth and the application of VC-17 paint for improved fuel economy. Throughout the years numerous upgrades and maintenance projects including, painting, chrome, bright work, accessories and interior decoration have been completed whenever needed. In 2009 the propellers were replaced.
In 1999 with the new enclosure, chromed rail stations, and fresh paint on the hull the vessel was judged and awarded ââ¬ÅBest in its Classââ¬ï¿½ award at the Blue Water International Boat Festival. In 2000 the vessel was awarded the ââ¬ÅPopular Choiceââ¬ï¿½ award at the Wallaceburg Antique Motor and Boat Outing. The boat is still summer and winter stored in the same Clinton River Boat House as it has been since 1978, keeping it in its pristine condition.
The current owner has used the vessel for vacationing and entertaining with his family and friends in Lakes Huron, St. Clair, and Erie and often for charitable boat outings and in parades.
Throughout this vesselââ¬â¢s history, it has been enjoyed by hundreds of passengers, whether it was for an afternoon, or on a weekââ¬â¢s voyage. Today the vesselââ¬â¢s uniqueness and condition turns heads wherever she is.
It is important to note that this vessel has never left the fresh water of the Great Lakes and is in the condition that is today due to the its continued care and maintenance and indoor storage. The vessel is not a restoration project; rather it has always been cared for in a meticulous manner.
