Hello Coz....you can now get a copy of WB mag #9 from WBM..photo copy I believe...the only issue about Manson listed in WB index...otherwise I can mail you a copy of the article from my original #9. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I see your a commercial pilot and your 61 years young; good show.....whats the mandatory retirement age?...what airline do you fly for now?

There was a 32 foot Manson (a fifties boat) in my club a few years ago...it was known for its high quality construction...

I have reached the "mandatory" retirement age of 60. While I do not fly the '72 (Boeing 727) any longer as Captain I still retain flight engineer certification on it. However, as with boating once a captain, always a captain [img]smile.gif[/img] So, I fly our feeder aircraft which are under a different set of regulations (FAA-135) as opposed to (FAA-121).
Thanks for all the help, this is a GREAT forum and I look forward to contributing.

Eagle, as I recall, the Manson Boat Works was in Salisbury on the West side of Route One, not too far above the Merrimac Bridge.

There's a guy from Amesbury who posts here.

Perhaps he can add more.
