[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 363000, member: 13599"] This is mine (now). 14' 1959 Crestliner Vee. My father bought it new in 1959 and it came with a 1958 Johnson Seahorse 35 pull start. SOOOOOOO many miles put on this boat with three young boys !!! Through the years, it has been passed from brother to brother in different parts of the country. I inherited it in 1983 when my father passed away. When I was in the U.S. Navy, I would wrangle a Navy ship that was going to my next duty station and they would take it on board and drop it off at the dock for me. So, not only is this our family heirloom, it is a treasure because it shows very little wear for its age. Eventually, I hope to get a windshield like the original. I have had this boat to Key West, FL, Jacksonville, FL, Norfolk, VA, St.Marys, GA and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - San Juan, Puerto Rico - and back to Winter Garden, FL. It has seen several motors and trailers in its lifetime. And at least a dozen color combinations. Presently, the outside is Rustoleum red/white the inside is brown latex house paint. You just can not beat an old Tinny !!!!! [/QUOTE]
