Glacier Park Boat Co. has been working to repair a classic 1957 Chris-Craft Sedan Cruiser.
The 27-foot wooden boat was damaged on Flathead Lake during a storm on July 4.
It is the first privately owned boat the company has repaired.
Glacier Park Boat Co. Owner Scott Burch said the workshop is set up specifically to work on large boats and the company would like to branch out and restore privately owned wooden boats during the winter.
