Dunphy Boat Info Page.

A collection of pictures, specifications, and other interesting information regarding the former
Dunphy Boat Co. of Oshkosh Wisconsin.
A Nice Dunphy 19' from a For Sale ad located in Alabama 
Any Idea who the owner was? 

This one looks like it could be a "Blue Water" Series which is the 2nd largest of the line.  Distinguishing marks are the deck hatch which it shared with the "Senior Wayfarer" - another 19' boat but the Wayfarer had a distinctively higher deck with a curve in the gunwales just behind the side window.  The raised deck was necessary because it had an optional fold down sleeper benches and a "head" for the serious camping boater.  In true cabin cruiser fashion the Wayfarer also had a wooden ships wheel. 

The Voyager also had a deck hatch but was only 17'.

I will be glad to assist anyone who wants to take this on!  I can't.. Too many projects like the Driftwood at the present, but boy I would sure like to!

I recently acquired this 1959 catalog on ebay.  This apparently was the first year of the lapstrake models.
I also have two full page ads from the same era for the Explorer and Wayfarer series!  Will publish them later.
