Registration says 1962 Chriscraft.

14 foot, aluminum runabout. Don't what it really is... no capacity tag, serial number, nothing...

My best guess at this point is a Duratech Marlin

Re: Is it a Duratech Marlin?

Nope, not a Duratech. Among other details, the gunwales, helm/dash, hardware and other things point to other than any Duratech model. Those monstrous (tough) gunwales look a lot like my brother's Starcraft lummie runabout...but the hardware pieces at the back say otherwise, although I'm not familiar with all years and models of Starcraft.

Have you positively ID'd this one yet?

Well Joe is by far the Duratech Expert, I would venture to say Starcraft or perhaps a Crestliner ?

Go over it with a fine tooth comb,and see if you cannot find any numbers stamped in the Transon or anywhere on the boat.
