<p>Mason Niblack of Polson carefully cleans over the ornate name and stencil of the "Never More" a 1960's Century Utility Boat on Thursday, August 9, in Polson. The boat came to Montana direct from the factory, but the stencil was added in 1988.</p>

<p>Mason Niblack points to any area on the "Never More" still to be restored. According to Niblack there are several sections with old caulking that still need to be worked on.</p>

<p>Mason Niblack pauses while restoring the "Never More," a 1960's Century Utility boat he purchased four years ago. "For me, this is a labor of love," said Niblack. "It's something to be done for the sheer joy and satisfaction of doing it."</p>
