Whatever it is, it looks like it is from the early '60s. Look at the Jetsons type dashboard. Oops, sorry. Not many people remember the Jetsons. Meet George Jetson--His boy Elroy--Jane, his wife, his daughter Judy, and Astro, his dog. I think I have the order incorrect though.

insert local phrase here...
I would, but I don't think Ayuh = bitchen which is the bitchenest word ever . . . I am thinking 'sup is pretty close as you noted. We might even need a sticky for Ayuh, it messes up a lot of people :eek: :D

If I were to guess I would say Larson or Starcraft. Those are just two guesses. There were a lot of boats made back then that look very similar.

Check out www.fiberglassics.com. They are rebuilding the site right now so not all the links work. However, you might stumble across something.

I had a '67 16' Winner that looked something like that. One of the more interesting things about that Winner's hull was it was a straight deep vee hull, that did not flatten at the stern like most boats. The hull design tended to make it ride dead flat in the water (no bow lift), and rise straight up, as speed increases until the prop would ventilate, especially in turns at speed.

Seems to me the USCG has a section in which the hull ID number can be entered to find out what it is. Usually found on the starboard aft section inside and outside. it should be there unless the the fiberglass has been re-worked..

Hull Id #s weren't required until 1972. May not have any, Ayuh!!!

When you go in you tell them that it's older than a 1972 when hull#s weren't required by law. use a bill of sale or previous owner reg #s if available. If not they'll issue you #s for identification.
