TOPIC: Elgin fiber glass Dingy

I am looking for a picture or catalog page which has a 10 ft fiber glass Elgin dingy built for sears in the early 1950s . Before 1957. If anyone has a source of info, please let me know. Thanks

Welcome aboard. Have you checked the Glassic Library on this site? The tab next tp forums?

yes I did search through the library. Plenty of 12 ft. No 9 or 10 ft.

I found this on the world wide net ? I didn't see the year, but It may be the one near the bottom of the newspaper article "E"
Good article at the bottom too ! It may get you to where your next search takes you ?

Thanks. I have seen that page and read the article. Interesting history of angler boats. I am currently repairing the Elgin dingy I have had for a few years. I found it was an Elgin when I stripped the old paint. I took photos of the old logo which was painted on before I continued. The rear seat had a foam block underneath which I was trying to find if this was a factory install or something that was added later. It is a hard polystyrene framed with 1/4" plywood. After reading the article on angler (penn yan) boats, I checked the wood , transom is mahogany as is the gunnels. Seats are cedar. The original colors match those in the article. The boat measures 10 bow to stern.

How about a picture of your boat ? We here LOVE pictures.... LOTS of pictures !
Pictures generate lots of hints and tips. The folks here love to help !

Yes please !!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some pictures of the boat. i am currently working on the fiberglass repair. Once completed I will have to look at the gel coat condition and determine how much to repair. Structurally sound but not pretty.

Cool!
