1950 - The Morris Brothers Began Building Pleasure Boats
Morris Brothers began building pleasure boats for the Bryant Company in Seattle. Several different models carrying the Bryant label were produced over the years. These boats were “sleek, fast, fun, and best of all, affordable” and helped launch a small power boat craze during the post-war years.
