Uniflite (United Boat Builders) was started in Bellingham, WA by Art Nordtvedt in October of 1957, with the first boat: an all fiberglass 17’ outboard. Uniflite then went on to build a 14’, an 18’ and a 20’ outboard and I/O boats. Art and many of his crew had worked for Bellingham Shipyards building Navy Mine Sweepers and Bell Boy boats before starting Uniflite. Art said the name came from a united crew. After building the initial 14’ - 20’ boats, Art and his crew then built a 25’ express cruiser followed by a 31’ and a 34’ boat. In 1965 the Navy awarded Uniflite with a contract to build one hundred twenty 31’ Uniflites to be used as River Patrol Boats. The 31’ Uniflites proved to be sturdy seaworthy boats.

This pre-blister 1969 Uniflite is a well-built boat with classic styling. The boat exterior, interior and power package have been recently restored to really great condition. If you are looking for a classic to cruise the harbor, take to the islands, and spend weekends in Catalina, here you go!
