George O'Day Associates, Inc.
Boston, Massachusetts
George O'Day, a famous racing sailor, formed O'Day Associates to sell boats made by other manufacturers. In 1958, the corporation began designing and manufacturing boats. By 1960, it had purchased Marscot Plastics of Fall River, formerly of New Bedford. See the link below for additional history:
In 1959, Ray Hunt, a noted sailboat designer, drew up the 22 ft 8 in. inboard "Hunter" model for O'Day Associates. (For more information and an image, see Sports Illustrated, January 26, 1959). This may have been the design leading to the Hunter 19 outboard tested by Mercury in 1959.
