One of those individuals is Dave Hyde of Hyde’s Marine, located in
Blue Barns, NY. Dave has been in business selling boats and motors to
local customers all his life.
The Schenectady Yacht Club and Jumpin Jacks are synonymous with
Dave’s entire life. He can recall having a 3hp outboard on a twelve-foot
boat at the Schenectady Yacht Club where his parents were members,
and going down the river to visit “Jumpin Jacks” for a hot dog!
