Does anyone have any information on this fiberglass boat,trailer/camper???
The name on the side is "Converta" - there's also a tag on the inside that reads "Par-Lay Industries" Any information would be helpful - I want to fix it up - or cell it to some that wants a special, one of a kind project

Yes - - the front of the boat folds over the rear (Not boating terms I know) - Theres a piano hinge that holds them together - - - technical the front and the back are two separate pieces - The wheels are attached to a bar with a spring and slide on each side and are held in place with pins

Back it up to the water - un-pin the wheel assemblies - un pin the hutch bar and off you go - |

I have a friend who said he was one in Texas a few years ago - White not green - The ser # is 112 - - but that may not reflect how many were made - they may have started with #110 for all I know -

I have been looking for any information for a long time - I have owned it for many years - The sun has damaged the fiberglass to the point that I am afraid to tow it or float it - It needs help - or a funeral.
