Built in St. Augustine, Tx, by St, Augustine Fiberglass works. They were a septic tank builder who jumped into the boat business in the late 60s-early 70's. I remember going into their facility and seeing boats and septic tanks sitting side by side. They took the same loving care when building their boats as they did the septic tanks. 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.
