The FC '57 Rocket just turned 54 but likely lived a pretty hard life before passing to my hands.
The Crestliner Commodore decked speedster is a mid(?)-1950's model (making it 50-ish), but it led a very good life with virtually no abuse & remains in very good original condition. I think the little FC Rockets were built for speed & performance, & consequently suffered a LOT more abuse.

Thanks, you have a labor of love ahead of you! Good luck! Mine took me about 2-1/2 years, working on it when I had the time.

Nice looking Jet Star

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

Well, as life would have it, the sife wasn't happy with the 'ol '83 Monark, so here is the replacement. She's a '92 17' NITRO we referbed and put the 75 4-stroke. on. Initial numbers are 45 mph @ 6000 rpm. wilth a 19" prop. 21" prop should tame down the rpms and "maybe" increase top speed...
