Had one as a kid growing up in CT. He is kind of a CT shoreline legend and I may build one of his style boats just because. Here is a NY time article about him. He died a few years back.

The Brockway house/shop burned a few years ago--rather spectacularly. There is now a new home built on the site. My house is across the street on land once owned and used by Brockway.

You do occasionally see what appears to be a Brockway boat in a boat yard in the area, but not many on the water any more I don't think.

Not many, but we still have our 25 year old one though it has alot of fiberglass repairs these days.
