Welcome
We welcome you to the Limestone
®
family! Our timeless designs continue
to surprise and delight, offering boaters the performance, dependability, and
safety they expect from a company with over 40 years experience in creating
recreational powerboats that will endure for generations to come.
For 35 years, Limestone
®
has been a heritage brand in North America. The model
designs were originally developed by renowned yacht designer Mark Ellis of
Essex, Connecticut. Ellis’ body of work includes an impressive number of highly
successful power and sail designs for both series production and custom building.
Ellis has been active for 45 years designing and developing the iconic Limestone
®
powerboat brand, as well as many others, including well-known sailboats.
Limestones have been built in the Great Lakes region since the mid 1980s for
boaters from coast to coast, and the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Over time, these
Limestone
®
models would undergo a series of enhancements throughout their
production phases. As the models evolved, customers took notice with credit to
the manufacturer’s dedication to quality, durability and functionality that ultimately
created a cult-like following.
In 2020, marine industry veteran Scott Hanson and his partners completed the
acquisition of the global manufacturing and Limestone
®
branding rights from Mark
Ellis Design LLC and created the Limestone
®
Boat Company. Hanson and his team
have also engaged Ellis to be involved with the evolution of existing designs and
new model creations as they move the brand forward.
Today, Limestone
®
embarks on a new, calculated course with a nod to its heritage
and with an eye to its future. Model enhancements and improvements, and
exciting changes are taking place as we speak.
Our extremely qualified network of dealers are here to assist you.
Congratulations on your purchase! Thank you for choosing Limestone
®
, here’s to
a lifetime of memories ahead!
