The boat was rowed at UCI in southern California. It had been sitting for a couple decades collecting dust and deteriorating. I brought it up to Port Townsend a few years ago and had Steve do a complete restoration. The pick up just went under a restoration as well. I have our WA registered horse brand on the side of the truck and it has some unique maritime enhancements such as a teak & holly deck and wood surrounds on the glove box. The truck is 12′ long and the boat is 28′. The two make a great pairing. It seems to have a following. The boat is named after Buster Keaton. There is a funny movie he did in 1927 where he tries to woo a girl by being an athlete. He fails terribly until he finds his niche as a rowing coxswain.
