Anyone interested in early fiberglass powerboat design and construction would do well to read both articles cited above. Here’s why: Born in Rochester, Minnesota, Waltman M. Walters studied aeronautical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, switched to mechanical engineering, and then got married and moved to Florida. His first job was as draftsman at Scottie Craft just as the company was shifting from wood to fiberglass construction. Next was Squall King, and then a partnership with Carl Moesly (see PBB Nos. 91 and 144) building the American Marc line for Arthur Vining Davis, head of Alcoa. Smyth relates: “Unfortunately, Moesly and Walters did their laminating in their patron’s greenhouse. The fumes from the polyester resin promptly killed every one of Davis’s prize orchids.”


For those that don't know Walt Walters designed the Formula 233, Cary 28 (Donzi 28), Magnum 35, Donzi 16, 18 and many others.
