===Other products=== * Grumman manufactured fire engines under the name Firecat (not to be confused with the firefighting variant of the [[Grumman S-2 Tracker]], which is sold under the same name) and [[Fire engine#Aerial platform|aerial tower trucks]] under the Aerialcat name. The company entered the fire apparatus business in 1976 with its purchase of Howe Fire Apparatus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.heraldbulletin.com/community/howe-fire-apparatus-had-know-howe/article_f64d25da-eed2-5d10-b1bc-8761a69a7e72.html|title=Howe Fire Apparatus had know-Howe|last=Library|first=Beth OljaceAnderson Public|website=Herald Bulletin|date=May 25, 2013 |language=en|access-date=2019-03-09}}</ref> * Grumman canoes were developed in 1944 as World War II was winding down. Company executive William Hoffman used the company's aircraft aluminum to replace the traditional wood design.

Grumman moved its boat making division to [[Marathon (town), New York|Marathon, New York]] in 1952. : Outboard Marine Corp. bought the division in 1990 and produced the last Grumman-brand canoe in 1996. Shortly thereafter former Grumman executives formed the Marathon Boat Group to produce the canoes. In 2000 the Group worked out an agreement with Northrop Grumman to sell the canoes using Grumman name and logo.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-past516,0,5473146.story |title=Paddling a Canoe to Success |website=Newsday |access-date=May 15, 2009 |last=Striegel |first=Lawrence |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071215131118/http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-past516,0,5473146.story |archive-date=December 15, 2007}}</ref><ref>[http://www.marathonboat.com/about.asp "Marathon BoatGroup: About Us."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090521213313/http://www.marathonboat.com/about.asp |date=May 21, 2009 }} ''Marathonboat.com''.
