Looking for information on North American Marine Boats built in Warsaw, Indiana during the 1950's and '60's. I have developed a web site to share this information with others. Would appreciate any information others have. My site is:
www.northamericanmarinewoodenboat.com
This picture is our 1959 boat we have restored. We have recently purchased the twin to our boat.

Keep an eye on ebay: original brochures may pop up. Here are a few images I saved of a '58 and a '59 brochure that were listed on ebay a long while ago:

Andy, thanks for your reply and sharing your pictures. Really like the colored picture. Is it from a brochure or a magazine ad? Search e-bay quite often and have had some luck. Do you have a North American?

I believe the images are of the '58 and '59 brochures: photos of the covers and some inside pages. I do not have a North American nor do I own these photos- they are merely borrowed from an ebay listing many moons ago. Good luck on your search for documentation.

I have some history that Lee Wangstad put together for me at the house. I have the 1957 14-footer "Little Fox" that is pictured on your website.
I will try to dig it out and see what I can share. |

I also have correct color-proper vinyl UV-stable logo decals for the white section at the back of your boat....

Phil, We now have decals on the boat that is pictured. I would be very interested in purchasing decals for our newly bought North American. It is the exact boat that we have recently bought. They were purchased at the same time by two men in the same town. We plan on refinishing it this winter. Also we would appreciate any info you have to share. Thanks.

This is our new boat purchased at an auction this summer. It's a twin to the one we have redone. We will begin the restoration this winter.
