Revision as of 23:25, 21 April 2010
In the beginning....
In 1903 Star Tank Corporation of Goshen, Indiana, a maker of farm feeders
and tanks, decided that their process for making tanks would work well for
making metal boats. In 1920 the Star Tank and Boat company was making metal
boats, and by 1957 they were making 10 models of aluminum and 6 models of
galvanized steel boats under the Starcraft Boat Company name.
It is shortly after this time that they started to also make fiberglass
boats. No actual date has been determined for which year they began making
fiberglass boats as of this writing, but it is suspected to have been around
1958-59. By 1962 Starcraft was making 7 models of fiberglass boats, and
continue to make aluminum and fiberglass boats to this day.
Note: Starcraft Marine of Topeka, Indiana is the current maker of Starcraft
boats, and shares the Starcraft name with 3 other divisions using the
Starcraft name in the recreation industry. The Starcraft name seems to be
all that has survived many corporate sales and I have not received any
information directly from Starcraft Marine about their fiberglass boat
history.
