More storage planned for Hayden boat manufacturer StanCraft

Rivelle LLC, has been issued permits by the city of Hayden for $565,000 to build three storage buildings for StanCraft Boat Co.

The buildings at 2936 W. Dakota Ave. will be 12,000 square feet each.

StanCraft was founded in 1933 in Montana and manufactures wooden boats. In its first decades, the business focused on refurbishing boats and only built a few new watercraft a year. In 1981, the Hollywood film “On Golden Pond” featured wooden boats, leading to a surge in popularity for the watercraft and an uptick in business for the company, which moved to Coeur d’Alene the same year the film was released.

In 2016, the company moved to Hayden and a new $2.4 million headquarters, which has nearly 30,000 square feet for offices, manufacturing and operations. StanCraft has separate buildings on the same property for repair and storage.

The project’s general contractor is House of Gold LLC.
