I believe I have a 1961 Crestliner Explorer 17. I'll attach an image to this post and maybe someone can tell me for sure. It's been stored outside for a few years and then inside for the past 7 years. There isn't much that needs to be done other than a good cleaning, but I was wondering where I could find parts? For example the canopy and snap on window covers are pretty weathered and need to be replaced. Also any other restoration tips would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Yes that appears to be an explorer. Look in the transom well. There should be a data plate there with two numbers on it. The top number should be 961 if it is an explorer. The bottom number will be the serial number. I have one as well. Parts come from eBay. For the cannonpy covers and clip in windows any good auto upholstery shop will be able to make them for you.
