Marine Builders
Utica IN
Marine Builders, Inc., was established by David W. Evanczyk in 1972, during the last boom in inland shipbuilding: originally in Clarksville, they relocated to Utica in 1983. The yard, which recently underwent a major expansion program, is at the south end of Utica, where Lentzier Creek meets the Ohio River. Unfortunately, they filed under Chapter XI in May 2019.
