Information -
Purchased in February, 2001, this 23 foot custom beauty
has some history. William Wallace ordered the boat from Streblow
Custom Boats Inc. and named it “Hi Low Silver”. It
seems Mr. Wallace was a partner in a silver mine with John “Duke”
Wayne. In the 1980s the boat was sold back to the Streblow family
who remodeled certain aspects of it to reflect the boats of that
era. They removed the front beckmounted breather which was replaced
by teak strips on black vinyl in place of the king plank. The
same design was modified on the rear deck.
The Streblow family kept the boat for personal use for a few years
then sold it to an individual in Rockford, IL for use on Geneva
Lake. Eighteen years later, I am blessed to be the owner of this
wonderful piece of art. I would later hear from other Streblow
owners that “you don’t own your boat, you have a long
term lease with the Streblow family”. You know this to be
true when you watch Streblow personnel
retrieving their boats around the Geneva Lake shoreline for winter
storage. Over one hundred of these fine boats are returned every
fall to the Streblow facility near Williams Bay, Wisconsin for
winterizing and storage.
