Can you help me identify the brand of this boat???

[cyberisme]

It's a 1958 something... on the original "little dude" trailer, with the original 50hp Evinrude motor.

We thought it might be a glasspar but can't find anything similar. Note the inside layout, those "shelf things" (I don't know the technical term) are original to the boat.

Does anyone know???

no idea, early 1960's, looks like a crowd pleaser. here is some good info on the steering. keep those cables tight, good condition and it is a decent system.

Our title show's it's a 1958... what do you mean by a crowd pleaser?

Just what he said! With the old boxy "Rude, the classic lines, and the red and white gel coat she will be a head turner at the ramp.

I'll bet that shelf seperated a seat on each side. The seats in it don't look original. I'd try your post here http://www.fiberglassics.com/ you might have better luck with the id. Cool boat by the way.

Thank you - it's been a bear trying to figure out the brand. We want to restore to original specs but can't do that until we know what those specs are!

Bought the boat with original trailer and original evinrude motorl. Going to restore this winter and use next summer... can't wait!

The steering column says attwood, the key plate says evinrude... any thoughts? putting it on various other forums over next few days, have it up on my facebook (with no success so far) and sending photos to a couple of dealers in the NW area.

I've checked larson, evinrude, century, glasspar, crestliner, skagit, etc. and can't find a match of any sort.

Looks an awful lot like a Glasspar Seafair Sunliner, c. late 1950s. The Sunliner models had the side windows like that. The hull shape doesn't quite look right, but it's close...
