MFG is one of my favorite old boat manufacturers. FiberGlassics had MFG brochures from the 60s and 70s, even the 80s. Can't seem to find them. MFG is very important as they manufactured for decades the most popular fiberglass boat ever made - the MFG Challenger.

Does anyone know whatever happened to the MFG brochures??? :)

Hey there.

I know where they are. In the rush to put things back together here, I skipped over them because they were originally put together by Jim Coffman & his MFG site. He turned it back over to me and I kept them in website form.

I'll put them back up this week for you. it's just a lot to sift through.


Sorry about that.

Great,thanks! I understand how much work it is - maintained several sites for years. Got some techs from a local college to maintain them now. Wish I had the idea years ago.
Fiberglassics has come a very long way over the past few years. It truly has become a top notch site for all of us who enjoy those old boats. Thanks for all of the great work you have done. It is appreciated.

Just for MFG fans - MFG not only made the most popular fiberglass boat ever made, they hold the top 4 spots. They are: the challenger 14 (#1), Sears gamefisher (#2), the Cartopper 12 (later called the Fisherman 12, #3) and finally, the Fishing Gypsy 14 ( the most copied hull ever made, #4).

That is a beauty. The colors look as they did when they were new. These boats were very good riding boats for trihulls, even by today's standards.

There is another like it on Ebay right now - a sistership - not in as fine condition as yours, but still looking pretty good.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the trailer.

Keep posting!
