Default Boat manufacturer "North American"

Can anyone tell me anything about these boats? I can't seem to find much info on them through a web search. I have seen one or two for sale but wanted to find out a little about them before heading out to take a look.

I'm not familiar with "North American", but "North American Fiberglass", I think, was the builder of the the GREAT "Sea Ox" boats of 20 years or so ago?

Regards,

IIRC they made the S-19 and S-22 models in the late 60's that had a good reputation.

North American Fiberglas(Sea Ox) were built down the road from Grady, changed to Sea Cat in '94 and eventually to World Cat. Sea Ox were used by CG in 80's.

North American and North American Fiberglass are not the same.

I used to live with a guy on IOP, SC that had a 22' side console. At least that is what he told me it was and it looked nothing like a Sea Ox. It reminded me of a Wellcraft V20. If memory serves me correctly, it had fairly low gunnels, was wet, and pounded. It ended up turtling at the dock because of some home made temporary bait tank he was using.

They were great boats in their day. The drawback now is most (if not all) drive trains were OMC stringers. While a stringer mount isn't that big a deal, finding OMC stuff is much more problematic. If you can find one in good condition, it'd make a great restoration ...
