Jensen Motor-Boat Corporation

History

Jensen Motor Boat Company was founded by Tony Jensen whose first boat building job in Seattle was at the Moran Ship Yard in 1906. The property for the Jensen Motorboat Company on Portage Bay was purchased in 1927. Since its founding in the 1920's, Jensen Motor Boat has built hundreds of custom classic wooden boats and rebuilt thousands of others. In the 1950's, son Anchor Jensen co-designed and built the Slo-mo-shun IV and V. Jensen's Slo-mo-shun IV became the prototype for all hydroplane builders for the next 15 years. In the 1960s, Jensen Motor Boat Co. purchased Spencer's Landing Marina in the San Juan Islands. Anchor, one of the world's greatest resources on wooden-boat technology, owned and managed the Jensen Motor Boat Company for 63 years until his death in 2000. Soon after, Peter Proctor and Steve Evavold joined Jensen Motor Boat Co. as its management team. Jensen Motor Boat Co. continues to be dedicated to quality, customers, employees and the wooden boat community.
