Garform

Mr. Garfield A. Wood, Jr., son of the famous Garfield A. Wood of Garwood Boats, and himself a noted racer, started making fiberglass boats in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1947. The company name was Wood Marine Engineering Company. The first boat made was an outboard, 16'-6" long. An inboard model came later. By 1950 they had made 2,000 boats.
