RIVERTON BOAT WORKS

Riverton MB

Most recent update: July 18, 2021.
Ken and Chris Thorsteinson owned and operated Riverton Boat Works for over 40 years and the boats they built were remarkably complex, especially considering that Riverton is such a tiny place - population 600 - in such a remote location.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
