Vintage crestliner identification

[tink65]

I saved a crestliner runabout from the scrapyard this weekend. Hull tag is gone, but I found the stamp on the bow. Its a model 753, s/n 36445. I can't seem to find any info on that model, like the internet doesn't know it even exists.
Does anybody have specs on this?
It'll be a sweet cruiser when I find a motor for it

Might want to take a look at:

http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/Crestliner

They have a whole section on that website about Crestliner boats including copies of brochures and such.

Yes that would be a good start. Also web search Crestliner boats I came across another site last month while looking to ID a 14' row boat. Unfortunately I didn't find a match for mine. Close but not exact.
I then seen that some of the old Cadillac boats have the same rivet line that this row boat does so you may want to look that area also.

Retrocrestliner also has good brochure and catalog pages...

Glad you found it, just make sure to check the transom out completely before throwing the max rated engine on it, most older boats need some type of work to get em back in the game.
