Identify this boat!!

[GT80]

All I'm told is that it's a 1957. No ID plate or markings anywhere. Can anyone help identify the manufacturer and whether or not it's a '57? Title says Crest is the manufacturer but I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Crest was around back then but they have only been in the pontoon business.

Sorry, this is the only pic I have right now. If another pic would help let me know and I'll post it.

How about Crestliner? They were around back then, and I think they may still be in business. You might look for a website. They may have specs.

BTW - the boat looks pretty sharp....

Thanks, I checked Crestliner history and they did manufacture their first fiberglass boat in 1958, the Comanche. One year later than this 1957, not to say the year may be wrong too. However, I can't find a pic of a 1958 Crestliner Comanche anywhere on the internet.

Re: Identify this boat!!

The bad news is that there were literally hundreds of companies making small fiberglass closed bow runabouts in the 50's and 60's. Many of them only made a handful of boats. So identifying your boat is going to be tough. The good news is yours does have a pretty unique styling to it so you may fair better than most. Cool boat for sure!
