This old 1950's fiberglass shell is in a garage in the midwest. The owner wants to cut it up and toss it into the dumpster. I wanted to see if anyone could identify it before that happens. The original identification plate has been removed, and I can not find a the serial number stamped anywhere in it.

It is in the style of what I would call a day cruiser by todays standards.The steering is closer to the rear of the boat behind the 'cabin' area.

If anyone could help me identify the manufacturer that would be a great start.

Does it have any value based on the classic 50's style? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

These pics seem to have a pointed nose from what I can see for the carribean. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Great info on it. Where about is it located? I am sure more help will be avalible if we know where in the country this boat is located. As for value it really depends where it is sitting at. What shape is the hull in , is there any rot, how much of the boat is there, long or short shaft transom, has the hull developed a hook from sitting unsupported for along time? If you could help with this info there will be more members that could help you out with your questions. Thanks, Skip.

The boat is along the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa. It is being supported off the ground both front and back so a hook should not be an issue. It has had some fiberglass work done to it as you can see in the picture, but I have no idea beyond that. There are not any instruments left on the dash. As I said, it is truely just a hull.It seems to have a short shaft transom, but I am not an expert on that. The interior of the boat on the floor is still very solid. The original steering wheel and cables are there but pulled fropm the boat.

It is definately going to be a major project that neither myself nor the owner have the time or the desire to take on. I can get some more defined pics if anyone is interested.
