1227.0. "EVER HEARD OF "EGG HARBOR"?" by OTOOA::LEBEN () Mon Jul 10 1995 12:00

    While shopping for a motor yacht, I came accross a listing for a 37'
    EGG HARBOR.  Has anyone ever heard of this manufacturer?  I haven't. 
    Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.

    Ah - I saw one of those moored in the Merrimack and thought it
    was an odd name for a boat...

    Egg Harbor, along with Little Egg Harbor are places on the
    Jersey shore.

    Egg Harbor, Pacemaker and similar were extreemly high quality
    wooden boat builders up until the seventies.  They were fir
    planking over oak frames while competitors like Owens were
    plywood.   Built on the jersey shore.

    As they converted to GRP, many of them went in and out of
    bankruptcy.   They are the predecessor to Jersey and Ocean
    Yachts.

    This is just history though, and may have nothing to do with
    current production.  Sort of like Chris Craft, a great name
    for a hundred years until the boats started falling apart
    and they disclaimed all liability (with the help of OMC).

    I have a couple of friends with a 33 Egg Harbor, They love it.  It
    handles good and run great although there is too much teak to care of
    for me.

1227.6THANKS!OTOOA::LEBENWed Jul 12 1995 14:365
    Thanks for your responses.  As it turns out, the owner was asking way
    too much for my wallet to handle.  I'll just continue searching for
    something else.

1227.7they have fiber hulls tooSPESHR::WERNICKIThu Jul 13 1995 14:414
    a couple of years ago I went scuba diving off a 38' egg harbor.  it had
    a fiberglass hull with a lot of teak decking.   it was real nice and
    the owner loved it.  as previously menitoned they use to be know as
    quailty boats, but I have no current feedback
