Does anyone remember Cruizon Boats? Around 1960, my grandfather and a friend of his bought two hulls from Cruizon in Newport Beach, CA. They were 18' inboards. Cruizon also provided a simple transmission. They were plywood hulls. They had a front bench seat and then the engine in the middle behind in a box with a single seat on each side and a bench seat along the stern. You glassed them and then put whatever engine you wanted in them. My grandfather put a Ford Thunderbird 312 in his with a six pack on top. His friend put a 1957 Pontiac 347 in his. The two of them raced in a 60mph class in the 60's in San Diego. My grandfather eventually sold his to a tuna fleet to be used as a chase boat. His friend parked his in his back yard and took up golf. My uncle and I, picked up that boat in the early 80's, restored it and skied with it for several years. Eventually neither of us had anyplace to store it and my uncle was ready for a newer boat, so we sold it. All these years later, I would like to at least find a picture of one. I can find no information on any Cruizon that small. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
