    Hi I have a set boat plans by a man named George Tanner.
    they are dated 1938 Detroit mi. The boat is a tetherline racing model
    I understand that Mr Tanner worked for John L Hacker in Michigan USA and the Streamliner boat co. in Gravenhurst Ont Canada. Can anyone tell me more
    the plans are for a round chinn 36" boat and I can send pictures of the completed model thank you--Boatnic

    Hacker/Streamliner information

    Thank you very much for the fascinating information on the boat builders.

    Sorry to say no mention of George Tanner.Maybe we will never know his affiliation. I have a great photo from the Detroit news showing Mr Tanner with Gar Wood. they are standing next to the children's pond at Waterworks Park on the Detroit river.1936 Mr Tanner is showing his tetherboat to Mr Wood.

    Water Works Park (long gone) was the site for the Detroit Model power Boat clubs race program should you like to read more about or see pictures
    Google Kent Lund small boats big passion.---for a story from 1999
    Thank you again for the information

    No worries, I don't know much about it, I just happened to stumble on them in my travels. Good luck with it!
