Otis C. Borum 1915 - 2000

Otis C. Borum 1915 - 2000 From my discussions with Don Borum, he describes his father as a quiet, recluse man who liked his privacy. "Dad was never a front office guy", "he would much rather be in the plant than in the public eye". "He would go to the boat shows, sell a years production, then get back to work"

(above)Otis Borum couldn't stand still. Don Borum told me that " if someone was in the plant, they would probably walk right past Dad, they would think he was one of the workers, Dad was just that way"  Mr. Borum is cutting a windshield from a blank piece of plexiglass. Note the 36' boats in the foreground.The hull was designed by Bertrum as a 32' and extended by Borum to 36' Just an example of the many different designs by Borum.circa 1982
