Could be a Nassau.

The keel isn't water tight so I wouldn't worry about the hole.

Hey mark welcome!

Could be a Nassau, Jet, Jet Star, Holiday. Hard to tell for sure without some good photos. Yah, that hole there is just keel drainage. I actually drilled out an extra in mine.

Tip: You'll want to keep your threads consolidated into one, that way we don't get lost on your project.

Cheers!

Some careful measurements and a gander at the brochures will tell you the exact model...I'm leaning towards it being a Nassau but hard to tell for sure. I don't think the Holiday or Jupiter was quite as flat at the stern but I'm not sure.

Welcome to the Starcraft fleet

Re: 1965 restoration 16 ft

That is a Nassau for sure. Just like the 1964 I'm half way through right now. Looks like someone chopped your windshield frame up though and cut about half of your plexiglass away. Otherwise that boat is in decent shape. Have fun with her! I took my plate off and stuck it somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out. The engine rating was 75 horse if I remember, but I don't recall what she was rated for passenger wise. Will let you know when I come up with my HIN plate.

Re: 1965 restoration 16 ft

Found it. Yup, 75 horse, 6 people at 150lbs or 1300lbs for people gear and motor.
