Newman/Wilbur

Newman/Wilbur 32
Manufactured by Jarvis Newman, Southwest Harbor, Maine in the early 70s to the early 80s. Jarvis Newman was one of the first builders of fiberglass hulls. One of his earliest molds was the now classic 36' Newman. This 36' model was readily accepted by the fishermen and many were finished as commercial boats

The Newman 32 hull made it's debut in 1974, followed a few years later by the Royal Lowell design 46. Newman was primarily a hull builder and made his models available to other builders and finishers.
