1957 Mfg Cambridge

This classic 1957 MFG Cambridge is the kind of fiberglass time capsule you don’t stumble across often. The lines are pure mid‑century—swept bow, low profile, and just enough chrome to turn heads at the launch ramp. The molded seats and simple dash layout make it easy to imagine summer evenings cruising at an easy pace, with plenty of open cockpit space for a cooler and a couple of friends. For a restorer or collector, the appeal here is authenticity: original character, period‑correct styling, and a hull design from the early days of fiberglass production. It’s light enough to tow with a modest vehicle and small enough to tuck into a standard garage, yet still has the presence of a true vintage runabout.

The MFG Cambridge shines on the sheltered waters and moderate conditions common in this region. Its compact size makes it ideal for exploring narrow channels, smaller lakes, and quiet backwaters where larger boats feel out of place. The shallow draft lets you nose into coves and along shoreline structure for fishing or relaxed sightseeing. With its efficient hull and modest power needs, it’s economical to run short evening cruises or lazy weekend loops. Launch ramps and storage areas around here often favor smaller craft, and this classic fits that profile perfectly—easy to launch, retrieve, and store while still giving you the charm and presence of a vintage fiberglass runabout.
