Home New Visitors Just what is a "FiberGlassic"

So many questions, we thought we'd define exactly what a "FiberGlassic" is.  There's lots of definitions out there these days so we thought we'd settle it once and for all.


We define FiberGlassic as  a Classic Fiberglass Boat designed and built from  the  50’s through  the early 70’s..  Our goal is to promote the restoration and enjoyment of these unique craft!.

littlefin; robert-lorigan; Chuck in Cinncinnati; thetudor,

Agreed.
(I had the sad distinction, in 1998, of closing up what I believe was the last WWI Barracks of The American Legion. - About 4 months after their last member passed away of old age, we had a memorial service for the former members of the barracks, returned the Barracks Charter to American Legion HQ & then we reverently burned the Barracks flag. The "Last Man Bottle" of French brandy was given to the county history museum, as there was no member to drink it in memory of his comrades-in-arms.)

ImVho, we should set some number of years of age for Glassic boats, rather than cutting them off with the 1960s, lest we oldtimers to the hobby "age-out" & the next generation of restorers will have little that they can afford to restore.
(I would hate for this to become a rich guy's hobby, as MUCH of the old cars have. = I can remember when you could buy a NICE/original Model A Delux Roadster for 500.oo.)

just my opinion, satx
