Know anything about Webbcraft Boats?

[mklett]

We own a 1994 Webbcraft 1900 BR Falcon. We LOVE the boat but can't find anything out about it. I know Webb Boats, Inc was in Collinsville, OK by the tag on our boat but can't seem to find them or anything about them. Does anyone out there know anything about Webbcrafts? Any info would be appreciated.

I googled webbcraft and found a forum with this address and telephone#:

Webbcraft
13614 N Old Hwy 169
Collinsville, OK 74021
918-753-7811

Sounds like they went out of business.
Here's a link to that forum:

Yep, Webbcraft went belly up back in '99? Built similar to the cobalt lines & function, with a few nice options. They were very popular in this area ( I live some 20 minutes from Collinsville). Ol' Bill Webb had some great ideas and designs, but apparently family members in business together can spell disaster. I've got an '81- 23' bowrider that was a was alot of fun til the hull started flexing & cracking. What a shame, it still looks great. Is there anything you're looking for, specifically?

Yup, they were built in Collinsville (smaller town outside of Tulsa). Their designs resembled the Cobalts and Mark Twains of the 70's/80's. They went belly up due to the family issues and the general tough boat market in the late 80's early 90's. They are solid boats, built like most others of the time with fiberglass hulls, wood floors and transoms, with a few teak accents here and there. They built boats from the 18-30ft range. They even built a few express cruisers/scarab-type boats I think in the low 30ft range.
