When we purchased our Tucker Boat nearly 3 years ago, we had a very difficult time finding any information about the manufacturer, Tucker Marine. I've been accumulating information about this boat builder and the wonderful old boats they built.

The Tucker Men
These are the Tucker men who worked on building the boats. Founder, Jess Tucker now deceased, is third from the right.
Hello Lynn, I am Mike Tucker (2nd from right on this photo). My brother, Gordon, forwarded this to me. Thanks for your interest, and I'll check through my archives to see if I am able to contribute anything else. If you need additional information on any of the boats shown just let me know.
Your article is quite interesting and we started to search, as you did, for Tucker's that are for sale. Unfortunately, we've hit walls. Any suggestions for a website to help in our search?
I grew up in Fairfax,just east of Cincinnati, where the Tuckers lived. Jess was my father's age and a Village icon. Gordon was older than me but Bobo (Bobby?) was around my age (a little bit older) and we used to shoot hoops at Fairfax School. I used to see Gordon at the annual boat show. The Tuckers were always good ole plain folk and I liked them a lot. Thanks... Lynn S. Marshall of Germania Ave. (my brother Kerry still lives there in our old homestead)

Did any of your brothers have a son named Dave or David?
