Marine Builders
Utica IN
Most recent update: June 19, 2019.
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: it can be seen from the air on Google here. Unfortunately, they filed under Chapter XI in May 2019.
