It seems to me that in the 70's we had Belmont, Sanger, Fresno, and I want to say even a Three rivers hull in the mix? Let me know if Im missing any other manufactures from the Valley. Would love to hear more. Thanx

There was a ton of MFG's in the long beach area.

Tahiti, Wriedt, Kona and someone else I believe was all on the same street even. swapped molds between shops.

I knew I was forgetting one, Cheyenne was in Fresno (1975 to 97). The one I was thinking about in Clovis was Cole.

If you want to see if anybody built boats in your town just go here and type in the city and state, it brings up a list. http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspx
