prepper1212,

WELCOME ABOARD.

NICE rig, too, though I've never seen one of those.
(There were literally HUNDREDS of small/regional/independent/local boat-makers between 1950-70, so you may NEVER learn anything.)
As an example, my home county (Camp) here in TX had 2 "boat-makers". = One made TWO boats (one a prototype) and the other ONE (the prototype).

yours, satx

Apparently the company was bought by Richland Mfg., maker of Rich Line aluminum boats sometime around 1961 and production was continued in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for at least '61 and '62? We have the model specs for these two years, but as yet no advertisements or brochure images. Maybe someone will come forward with something to share, until then here's the Sea Fury page in the 'Glassic Library:

well i do like the lines of the boat. so i guess i will just look at the boats from the early 60s and go from there. i believe it had two bench seats in it from the looks of the inside gunnels and the rear near the transom. i am planning to start next week sanding and painting the hull.
