Lakeland Boating — July 2017

(Nancy Kaufman) #1
Some of the treasures found in the Lake Geneva area are the remarkable dark
mahogany, handcrafted custom boats made by Streblow. This family-run
company made its start in 1951 and is located in the Lake Geneva countryside,
where they handcraft just one luxurious beauty each year. Ranging in size
from 19 to 28 feet, they are framed in white oak lumber with fi nished sides and
topsides in lush dark red Philippine mahogany. They have classically designed
interiors and powerful inboard motors.
We recently purchased our fourth Streblow, Cannon Ball II, a 1964 19-foot
Streblow Rebel, from the original owner. She is in fantastic condition and shows
the loving care provided by the owner. Streblow is doing some minor bottom
work, including refastening and painting.
Randy Streblow and Steve Horton personally built the queen of our fl eet, the Mare
El III, a 26-footer commissioned in September of 2000. We have cruised Mare El III
with Randy across Lake Michigan, up to Green Bay, Washington Island and Chicago
on multiple occasions. These sleek, one-of-a-kind boats are truly contemporary
classics, built with timeless materials yet carrying a
modern design and equipment.
