1958 Fabuglas

[marvin4239]

I came across some old pictures of a 1958 Fabuglas we had when I was a kid. This was the second fiberglass boat we had. The lines on it were beautiful and it was powered by a 35 HP Evinrude. I would go 25 MPH and in the day that was flying! There's another pic in my album showing the interior.

Thanks
Thats looks fast sitting still.
What is length?
Is that a burn barrel on shore?

It was 16' and yeap thats a burn barrell. The picture is taken at a place we had on the ICW north of Wilmington NC "Mallard Bay" for those who know the area. We had two lots 75 x 400 on the water paid $1000 for both of them. In the other picture in my album you can see our 14' FG Herters Skiff bottom up getting barnacles scraped.

You have not changed a bit and the cushions are handy to have before we had noodles
