Grumman Boats

[Belchy]

Not sure if I am putting this in the right spot, but hope so. I am looking at a used Grumman Boats, which is a 25 ft Cuddy. The year is 1988. When i was in it today, I noticed that there was a lot of rot in the transom, and was wondering what kind of work and money would be required to replace it. The rest of the boat seems good and solid, I am just worried about the transom. Any answer would be greatly appreciated. <br /><br />Thanks <br />Belchy

Re: Grumman Boats

Ok, thanks for the info, It doesn't seem like that big of a job, so i think it will be something worth salvaging<br /><br />Thanks again<br /><br />Belchy

Grumman was/is known as the manufacturer of very high quality alumnium canoes. I had a 17'er years back and it was as solid as they come.

Re: Grumman Boats

they used to build them right here on long island, what I never knew is they made boats that size, I thought it was mainly the famous Grumman canoe & john boats..<br />quality stuff though

From the website:<br /><br />"The plant relocated to Marathon, N.Y. in 1952.and in 1988, Grumman produced the largest aluminum boat in its history at Marathon. Designed for the Great Lakes, it measured 22' 3"."<br /><br /> http://www.marathonboat.com/index.html
