Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

56 years old. (2) 1956 Crestliners. One is a Commander 12' , other is a Viking Deluxe 14'.

The Commander's decking and seats and dash and windshield were made by me. It has a 25hp '55 Johnson. Goes about 29mph with just me. Fun boat.

The Viking has just recently had new deck paint, bottom paint, and polished sides. Original windshield has been laid back a bit, and slightly lowered. Still working on the dash. Motor is a '58 Evinrude Lark 35hp, with a '58 Johnson Super Sea Horse hood.
Currently thinking about a late 60's 40 horse to replace it with for a bit more speed.

Very nice! I like the windshield on the Commander.

We have a 1964 McCulloch, matching boat motor and trailer, it has been a set since 64. But now it needs a new home because we have a new 1984 Cobia Sportster. The Cobia is my sons I now have a Starcraft, maybe 1971.P1000097.jpgP1000620.jpgP1000624.jpgP1000653.jpgstarboard.jpg
