This site is here to promote the exchange of information between other Wheeler owners and myself. If you have one of these boats, please sign the guestbook! I would like this site to become the "Wheeler Owner's Registry".

I am interested in learning about the History
of Wheeler, and I will post it here. If you can tell me something
about Wheeler Shipbuilding Co., please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
I know they were based in New York City, and built boats as early as the
1930s. I think they went out of business in the early 60s.
From what I've heard, companies like Bayliner started spraying chopped
fiberglass into molds, while Wheeler was still hand-laying thier hulls.
The price difference put them out of business. MORE TO COME......
