[QUOTE="mikeathley, post: 458660, member: 24143"] That is a 1963 Texas Maid Fiesta. My dad bought one brand new and I have it to this day. It is the same color as yours. It came from Lewisville with a Mercury 45 hp motor, a couple years later my dad upgraded to the 50hp Black Max and it still runs today. It appears someone cut a hole for a radio, but the speedo was accompanied by mounted barometer which looked cool but was about as reliable as the weatherman. Yours is missing a large windshield, canopy, ski seats. I used to sleep in the front or just lay there and pick at the styrofoam that was installed on either side of that hatch on the focsle. He took that boat everywhere from lake LBJ to the deepest water of the coast of Port O'Connor. Enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
