I just recently purchased a 1979 Galaxy boat with a closed bow. Where in the world can I go to get information on this thing? I search all over the net and it seems that Galaxy boats just don't exist! I would like to do some research so I can know more about it and can get parts etc! Thanks<br /><br />B

Good luck on info from Galaxy. The company changed hands more than most change thier underware before finally going belly up for good.

Is it Galaxy of California, or Galaxie of Texas? I have a Texas boat, and was looking in the wrong place for some time.

The first 3 letters of the hull ID known as the MIC code (as seen above) can tell you what company made the boat. Of course the boat can't be too old or it won't have the hull ID.

Re: Help me out on this...Galaxy Boat

Thanks for all your help! It says on the Title that the make is Galaxy and it's a 1979. This is very strange that it's hard to find.<br /><br />Thanks all!

Re: Help me out on this...Galaxy Boat

I'm telling you... you won't find much. I spent many nights on searches and the most I came up with was an old brochure. exactly what type of info are you looking for? Perhaps I can track down a manual from my friend that I bought my Galaxy from. No guaratees though he lives about 30 miles east of New Orleans.
