This just appeared on the GB owners forum.* The boat in the photo is in Sausalito, CA.* The spec sheet is from Ameriican Marine circa 1975-77.
Apparently in an effort to build their market back up after their bankruptcy in the mid'70s, American Marine introduced a commercial version of their GB32 cruiser.* By this time the GB32 had been switched to fiberglass so that's what the Husky was, too.
Called the "Husky" I have no idea how many were made.* The fellow who posted this on the GB forum is the son of one of the first marine architects hired by American Marine, (the Kong later of Kong & Halverson), and he knows of two of them.*
Eric will like this-- the boat was available with a single 185 hp engine or twin 47 hp engines.
Max speed (I assume with the single 185 hp engine) was 14.5 knots.
Very nice looking boat I think.
Apparently they also made a similar style boat using the GB42 hull.
