I have recently aquired a 14' Fiberglass Crestliner and I know nothing about it, it has been gutted of the controls and wiring etc.

The numbers off the plate are:

SN: 711617
Model: 64371

Can anyone tell me the year of this boat and perhaps what the Model Name would be, I can't imagine it not having some kind of name.

Any help would be great.

thanks in advance.

You gave me the shivers when I read you were cuuting your transom down to fit a short shaft. I just got finished bringing my transom back to long shaft from short shaft, P O cut it down to fit a 1961 merc400.

Your boat looks good can't wait to see more, good luck.

Rob I cant help you with a year but it looks ALOT like my 1964 Del Rio . The windshield tells me its newer than mine as I have the curved plexi windshield also my dash is differant but the basic hull looks alot like mine. How long is it mine is a 16'.

Re: Crestliner ID HELP!

the problem with older crestliners, is that they went through i believe 3 different owners in its years. so the current crestliner company, as opposed to AMF or the other owner (cant recall who) may not have info for you.
