Glass Magic boats were manufactured by:
Marine Plastics, Inc.
2751 Ludelle St.
Fort Worth, Texas
From 1956 thru 1962? They began with 3 basic hulls and included optional
decks and interiors to produce 7 models from 14' to 17'. In the following
years the company grew with the industry and expanded it's line of boats. By
1960 this line included a 17' and 19' cabin cruiser. About 1959 they opened a
plant in Elkhart, Indiana and it appears that about 1960 they contracted with
Duratech Mfg. Corp., Pleasantville, NY to produce and distribute some of their
boats in the Northeast. At some point the company name was changed to Glass Magic Corp. After 1962 I can't find any more information on this company.
The above information was
gathered through several resources and is to the best of my knowledge accurate.
If anyone has further information on this company's history please contact me. A
special thanks to all the Fiberglassics members, without their help a great deal of this
information would not be available.
