What do you want to know? ODOM's are 1 meter radio controlled racing sailboats.

You sure about ODOM? What does your California paperwork say?

would like to find someone who knows about this boat. It is very well built and could be the only one of it's kind.

There is still a company that goes by the name of Odom, they build sailboats, you might look up their website and send them an email. Boat manufactures come and go and they were a dime a dozen back in those days.

here is the thing about boats.

many are one of a kind, doesn't make them valuable.

over the last 90 years of fiberglass boats, about 100,000 companies have come and gone... most only making 1 or 2 boats.of the 100,000, about 75% of them disappeared before the internet came around.

if you have a location of the company, you may have to scour local libraries for some information.

and that is all the information you need along with a valid registration and title from the seller to get it registered and titled in your name
