Re: Trying to identify an old Crestliner

They built those in the 70s, maybe into the 80s. Okay boats, check for rot. Those colors were popular in the mid 70s. 16 or 17 footer. I've seen more of their trihulls. You'd like that Vee a Lot better. The trailer looks to be worth more than the boat. The date of manufacture will be the last digits of the Hull ID on the transom. ...........576 would've been built in May of 1976 ;)

Re: Trying to identify an old Crestliner

I had a 15' 1976 Crestliner back in the day. Mine didn't have the "lapstrake look" hull and generally looked more modern than this one, so I'm guessing yours is late 60's or maybe early 70's. The HID numbering was revised at some point to show the build month and year, but I don't know exactly what year.
