[QUOTE="silver_bay, post: 247876, member: 4321"] Given that most boats had "lapstraking" by the mid 1960's I looked more closely at the 1959 catalog (the first year I've seen that logo), and I noticed in my 1959 catalog: [url]https://www.ultimate.com/aerocraft-boats/91959/c/1959-p08.jpg[/url] The top photo for the L-12 and N-14 has the same kind of bow handle as your boat, as well as the support struts on the seats (but the spray rail is different). The specs for the 1959 N-14 are: LOA 14' Beam 54" Depth 20" Weight: approx 105 lbs Transom width: 44" Max HP: 10 I have records that the N-14 was built in 1958 and 1959, and that there was an NW-14 in 1960 and 1961. The 1959 N-14 was sold under the budget "AeroLine" mark, and the 1960 NW-14 was supposed to have been as well, so that leaves 1961, and I don't have a full catalog for that year. The 1962 catalog does not have a N-14 or NW-14 model. [/QUOTE]
