Re: 1988 Galaxy 16" (worth fixing or not)
Thanks a lot all.<br />I will make this Galaxy of mine look better then the way I got it. Not sure what I will do with it after. Might enjoy it for a while and sell it in the beginning of next season. <br />I noticed a bit of uncomfortability in choppy waters but was not sure if it's me or the boat, or my wife who's not a good swimmer
<br /><br />NY Jamaica Bay, Sheepshead Bay is my area. <br /><br />Ryan,<br />I think Trent is right about Galaxy being out of business since 1990. <br />The 92 Galaxy you see on Ebay was made by a company called Global who took over Galaxy. Global also went out of business in 1993.<br /><br />Based on the following:<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Details for Manufacturer Identification Code GAL<br /><br />MIC:GAL Status: OUT OF BUSINESS <br /><br />Company:GALAXY BOAT MFG CO Company Official:ROOF, WM ALVIN <br />Parent Company: Parent MIC:GME <br />Address
