Company History
The Humber Legend!
Humber Boats Founder, Ernie Rowley
Toronto International Boat Show in 1960
At one time, Humber Boats had as many as ten different models to choose from. By far though, The Humber Jewel was the most popular. At a time when there were really no small sporty runabouts on which you could run a powerful motor, The Humber Jewel soon became the sport boaters boat of choice. The Jewel has an amazing power to weight ratio and really gives a sensation of speed. You can ski behind it, make lots of fun tight turns and be amazed by The Jewel’s handling characteristics.
The Toronto Telegram featured the Humber Jewel in its August 22 1964
Here are a couple of the original Humber Flyers. The one on the left is either from 1961 or 1964 as my dad has written both on the front of the flyer. Notice the antique Evinrude! The other is from 1969, again featuring my father’s scrawl across the front!
