Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Bob Speltz's love for classic wooden boats runabouts, in particular was so intense that he spent countless hours traveling in search of more and more information and photos, despite having to undergo kidney dialysis three times a week. His books, a series of seven called "The Real Runabouts" as well as others about wooden canoes and outboard motors were mostly written in the 1970s and '80s but are still extremely popular among enthusiasts. Speltz, who succumbed to kidney disease in 1993, has often been referred to as "Mr. Boat." In recognition of Speltz's contributions to the hobby and to Hagerty, he has been selected to join the inaugural class of the Hagerty Classic Marine Hall of Fame. "Bob's passion for classic boats had him going up and down the Mississippi and to local lakes, taking pictures, visiting with people, cutting photos out of newspapers," said friend F. Todd Warner, owner of the Mahogany Bay Boat Company in Mound, Minn. "He loved wooden boats researching them, writing about them. He couldn't get enough." Tony Brown, who befriended Speltz while living in Minnesota, said Speltz encouraged him to take his boat restoration skills to Lake Tahoe and work with legendary Dick Clarke. Brown now owns Western Runabouts, which has locations in Auburn, Calif., and on Lake Tahoe's west shore. "Bob was a real gentle man," Brown said.
