Thank you

So i finally found out from a guy in seattle. William crealock design cortez 16

Last four digits are supposed to be month and year. So my “hin” shows boat to be built in september of 1977. No offense ga boater but i think you are as clueless as i am. Thanks for trying though

Werent asbestos gloves outlawed with all asbestos in the late 1970’s? I suspect they would be itchy.

Maybe you are right about coast guard using number as a registration type. Interesting model and maker doesn't jump out to someone. Its a goofy little thing but perfect for the little lake it will be used on.

I thought the number would nail it but no responses. Somebody has to know.

So here is the number on the rear transom right side?

CYT. But its not a kansas powerboat. I will post pic of hin shortly

I understand. I have rescued and rebuilt a few before. Mostly Pelicans, couple vagabonds, a neptune and gloucester. I am a terrible sailor but cant neglect potential on an old crappy free boat Labor of love. Never get anywhere close to time and money i put in. Keeps me out of bar!

These should be enough. Once i find out what it is i will be looking for rigging, mast, boom, rudder

Hmmm. You might have something there. Boat was delivered today ( it was a freebie) and shoal keel is resting on center trailer board so i cant see it until i lift boat up. I also couldnt find any big obvious pivot bolt inside cabin which would support your idea. I should of posted more pics...

Maybe i am confusing people. Yellow boat above is a venture 17,not mine

I agree. I looked it up also. I will post number tomorrow

Winch obvious as is lack of bench hatches. I will post more pics tomorrow. Windows are also smaller

I am talking about keel winch not sheet winch
