Boat info ?

[ky river rat]

Has anyone heard of Tiger boats or is this a model name for some manufacture? My title reads 1966 Tiger and I was just trying to gather some info on the boat. Thanks for any info.

According to the information I have, the Tiger was built/distributed by Tiger Boats & Trailers, 14510 S. Carmenita Rd in Norwalk, CA, and had the following dealers in 1966:
Bob's Auto Service
Metairie LA
Ski & Speed Boats of AZ
Phoenix
Tiger Marine
3048 Jackson St
San Francisco CA
B&J Marine
Pomona CA
Boats Unlimited
Springfield, OR
Kellin & Associates
Des Moines, Washington
The ad read "Looking for a family pet? Try a Tiger!"

DaveA,
Thanks for the info. B&J Marine in Pomona CA. was the only dealer on the list still in business. Talked with the owner and he may have some old stuff like some paper work and possible a tiger boats emblem. He recalls that tiger boats went out of business around 1968. Until then they rigged a few of their boats a year. If anyone has more info or knows more history thanks in advance.

Ky River Rat,
Hey, glad you were able to follow up on this information! And I am happy to help on such things.
Hope the guy in Pomona can help out further. That'd be neat.
