[QUOTE="PATRIOT2, post: 224402, member: 6098"] This hull is currently available and I'm trying to decide if I need yet another project. Any ideas on what it's worth in it's present condition? It's a 1962 or 63 Texas Maid Fiesta Runabout. Believe it or not the control cables still work freely. Looking at the factory prices back in the 50's and 60's is a laugh: $960.00 F.O.B. 1961 $898.50 F.O.B. 1960 $825.00 F.O.B. 1959 $825.00 F.O.B. 1958 $795.00 F.O.B. 1957 The top of the hull is .060" aluminum, 4 port holes and all, and I'm guessing the bottom plating is .100" at least. Quite the 16' and 530 pound beast. It was rated at 80HP back in the day. Viewing the old brochures was real interesting. [/QUOTE]
