One of the goals of the Heartland Classics is to educate the public on classic, vintage, and retro boats. We hope you will find the information a useful resource of member boats shown by age classification.
ACBS recognizes these age classifications:
Historic: A boat built up to and including 1918.
Antique: A boat built between 1919 and 1942, inclusive.
Classic: A boat built between 1943 and 1975, inclusive.
Late Classic: A boat built after 1975 through the year 25 years prior to the current year. (In 2020, the Late Classic period ends with boats built in 1995.)
Contemporary: A wooden boat built within the last 25 years.
