OSPREY II, a 28' Long Deck Launch is a single owner boat designed by Charlie Duke and built by Duke Boats in Port Carling in 1930.  She was one of two boats to survive a fire that burned the factory to the ground by being pushed from the second floor to the Indian River below before any irreparable damage was done.  Work at Tom Adam's shop involved replacement of significant portions of the bottom and transom, replacement of the propeller shaft, and complete refinishing.
