TOPIC: The Most Popular Vintage Boat Makes

One neat feature of our wiki-style Classic Boat Library is it reports the number of page views for each library page.

www.fiberglassics.com/library/Special:PopularPages

The following are the top 15 boat makers judging by the number of page views (I removed "Evinrude" from the list and moved up "Sea Ray"):


1. Lone Star ‎(236,019 views)
2. Starcraft ‎(170,875 views)
3. MFG ‎(152,786 views)
4. Glasspar ‎(140,908 views)
5. Crestliner ‎(111,523 views)
6. Larson ‎(106,146 views)
7. Dorsett ‎(90,672 views)
8. Arkansas Traveler ‎(78,241 views)
9. Aluma Craft ‎(77,471 views)
10. Bell Boy ‎(74,352 views)
11. Aerocraft ‎(74,026 views)
12. Sea King ‎(70,827 views)
13. Cadillac ‎(59,726 views)
14. Thunderbird ‎(58,640 views)
15. Sea Ray ‎(53,053 views)

People find their way here from search engine results, other websites or forums. For instance, I regularly see the FiberGlassics forum or Classic Boat Library pages popping up in search results when researching information on classic boats. This influx of views from search engines likely contributes to our library page views.

Andy, very interesting data. I had guessed Lone Star, Larson and Glasspar would be high on the list, however some of the others are surprises.

Interesting.

Can you make a "way back machine" and do the same thing in the year 1960? That would be of great interest to me!

Andreas

Thanks for showing this.

I would be interested in seeing the list continue downwards if it is easy to do. Really fun idea thanks for posting.

YYYYYESS....stretch it out more if you can without a lot of work....very interesting info....and a big thanks for all your work on the site....john

well, my bad...I didn't see the link...thanks for the work...john

kinda surprising Glastron is not on there.

it's number 34...red fish is 23

Hey, Tomahawk made it to 29! ( I was probably 1,000 of those page views. Great resource for a new owner.)

Yes I missed the link sorry! Everyone should have a look at the second to last placed item a company called boat jacs. Basically a lift rotisserie for boats I wondered if something like that would work. Quite possibly everyone else is using something like that but it looked neat to me.

Good stuff Andy, thanks for sharing!

Thank you Andy!

This is good information to have available.
