A story of two brothers, 11 years apart in age and sometimes oceans apart in their business philosophy, which leads to stormy relationships. Both highly intelligent, talented, and determined, together they build an internationally- known American boat company, designing and manufacturing houseboats, cruisers, offshore fishing sedans, and aft-cabin motor yachts. When asked about his career, the author often uses this analogy: The disciples of the Lord were rough fishermen and boat builders who became preachers. My brother and I were raised by our father and sent to seminary to be preachers who became boat builders. After the end of manufacturing, and several years of separation, happily the two brothers and families become reconciled. They share a common faith and love.
