Forgot about Mackie. Late 70's, similar to Hydrosport. Kevlar hull. Cousin had one with a 115 Merc.

Relatively tough old boats that would beat you to death. Everything they built was a pop of another hull.

I bought a new 1977 Roughneck bassboat that was built in Smackover, Arkansas. It had a 140 HP Evinrude.

You missed Cobra, great boat that Hawk, Legend splashed molds from, they sold a load of those around Ft. Hood for some reason maybe there was a military discount

Almost every guide on Toledo Bend in the 70's had a ray-craft. Most of them had 105hp Chrysler's on them.

I just visited the Pro Gator facility. The can still build boats but honestly it don't look like they've built any in a while.

I think they are only built to order? I know they never produced very many per year as they had other projects. I know this, they are a tough hull for sure.
