I checked out the photos, and I agree that she looks like a 50s runabout. Probably had a curved glass windshield at one time.

We are lacking good brochures from the 50s but you can check out what we've got(1958). There is a link in my signature to the brochures thread.

The way that the stern flares out on the sides indicates that it is a pre-1960s hull in my opinion. North Beach might have more info on the Speedqueen model.

there is a small lip going across the bow where it looks like a windshield once was, id love to find a replacement. i was also thinkin about putting a small bimini top on it to help keep the spray off me.

Hey grunt!

I took a look at this one the other day...

It's a 1956 12' Speedster. It originally had a bow deck and windshield on it (both gone now). It also had wood gunwales. It was a pretty cool little rig! It looks very similar (maybe same) to what you have there.

Does your 01 also come with the General Lee horn? It definitely should

Rock on!

of course it has the horn! Wow that is a spitting image of the general minus the bowdeck and windshield, thanks for the help bro! i really think it had a steering wheel at one time also, i wouldnt trade my starcraft for anything.

That is pretty awesome!

Yah, this one had the original dash and steering wheel laying in the bottom of the hull in pieces.
