Hey Airbrusher,

Congrats on picking up a Jet DeVille. I'm still trying to be sure what year mine is. With my top deck off and the wood out of the transom, I measure right about 16" from the bottom of the "groove" the transom plywood sits in to the top of the transom without the thickness of the top deck on it. I am not sure if that means 16.5" is the actual measurement, or if it is 16". She's 14' long, though, so I think that makes her a '59. The previous owner told me she was a '60, but maybe he bought it in 1960 and it actually is a '59. Not a '58, though, based upon the bow height being higher than the catalog cut in the library shows for the '58.

If you (or anyone else out there) is more familiar with the Jet DeVilles, let me know. That includes if the serial number actually relates to the date of manufacture. Mine is #100-0460-2412.

I just went off the catalog on here with measurements, i'll know soon when I Pa fish & game does my title work, they should have record of it....being I purchased without a title, due to abandonment ......now my # reads 100-0660-2519....but I did read that could just be the # in line it was, not really year......and like you said, depends on when it was bought how they titled it.....like a car, same thing.....you're being taller transom should hold more hp than mine........I'm trying to load pics......unsure if I want red and white or blue & white to match my dads car & my old dodge pick-up.....quess it doesn't matter on that
