At Streblow Custom Boats, every project tells a unique story, and this one is nothing short of a masterpiece. The boat in question—a 1960s Streblow Rebel—sat in storage for nearly three decades, waiting for its second chance. Originally brought to us by a previous owner who wavered on what to do with it, the boat was in rough shape, even sporting a hole in the bottom from an encounter with a rock on the Wisconsin River. For years, it seemed destined to be little more than a forgotten relic, or perhaps even a repurposed bar.

But then the current owner stepped in with a bold vision: “Make this your palette. Create a piece of art—and don’t forget to include my favorite color, purple.”

A Labor of Love: Turning Vision into Reality

Taking on this challenge was nothing short of exhilarating. From the ground up, the Streblow team poured their expertise into resurrecting this classic. The boat now features a brand-new bottom, custom-stained sides, and a gleaming bleach-blonde wood finish that glows beautifully in the sunshine. The interior, however, is where this boat truly transforms into a one-of-a-kind marvel.

Our talented upholstery team brought the owner’s dream to life with a custom purple and white interior that is both bold and elegant. From the rich purple accents to the steering wheel itself, every detail is tailored to perfection. The two-tone design pops with its vivid colors, promising to turn heads whether cruising in broad daylight or under the stars.
