Old Crestliner

[mapjockey]

I have aquired (inherited) a Crestliner, I was told it was a '54 model but I'm not too sure.
I am starting to get it ready for a restore project. The only numbers I can find are 710-826H if anyone has a clue please lend a hand to identify it
so I maybe can do her some justice.
The only info from the trailer is that it was mfg. in '73 but I don't know that it was origanil to the boat.

I think I've found it,
'57 Viking Speedster 14'
Does anyone agree?

Nice looking old hull there, plenty of potential.

Once the pine needles are shop-vacced up the teardown will be half done.

Those knee braces should make the transom solid once some new wood is bolted in.

Gluvit will seal interior seams and rivets to prevent leaks, great product.

Thanks,
I've cleaned it out, removed the deck and salvaged the dash.
So far it's had a complete pressure wash and all hardware removed for refinishing if possible.

Well now that looks like a cool project!

I am guessing that boat might have been parked under a pine tree maybe

Interesting, it looks like the whole transom is essentially on the outside of the boat vs. the inside, eh?

Have fun!
