Since the mid-1980s, Limestone boats have been built in the Great Lakes region, originally developed by designer Mark Ellis. Earlier this year, Scott Hanson, former head and lead designer at Rossiter Boats, acquired the branding rights and Limestone molds from Ellis and has now relaunched the heritage company as the Limestone Boat Company. Ellis will be involved in the evolution of the new model designs.
“I’m excited and pleased to be part of the Limestone rejuvenation and to be working with Scott and his assembled team,” Ellis says. “Limestone has had an enthusiastic following of experienced owners over the last 35 years. It’s great that Scott and the new Limestone Boat Company will bring this brand forward and introduce it to a wider audience. I’m truly looking forward to its rebirth and evolution.”
The revitalized lineup will include nine models: The L-290CD cuddy cabin; L-270CD cuddy cabin; L-250R runabout; L-200R runabout; L-200CC center console; L-170CC center console; L-170DC dual console; and the soon to be launched L-270DC and L-290DC. Select models will be available through the winter months, and the full lineup will be available by spring 2021.
