Tollycraft was a US powerboat manufacturer which is no longer in business.
History
Tollycraft was founded in 1936 as a wooden boat builder by Robert Merland Tollefson (better known as Tolly). In 1962 the company switched to building their boats from fiberglass. Tollefson sold the company in 1987, and it was bankrupt by 1993. Although it attempted to resume operations, the company was dead by 1997.
Tollycraft was known to make high quality boats ideally suited to the waters of its home in the Pacific Northwest.
