Above are photos of my project Crestliner. She looks pretty shabby right now but at least better than when I found her.

I didn't take any pics before I started, wish now that I had. I also got the original trailer with the boat. I thought it was a Tee Nee but it turned out to be a Little Dude, manufactured in Ohio. It is in great shape.

The twin Merc Mark35A Thunderbolts I found in Oklahoma just two weeks ago. The old gentleman ran them until September and just decided to sell. I was able to get them with all controls and electrical including the Westach tachs.

I enjoy your website and the discussion forum so keep up the good work. Oh, the reason I bought the Crestliner in the first place is we have a Crest houseboat. I thought they were related. I started looking for info and found your site. I am already a collector of antique autos so this was not a big leap.

We have a restored 1959 Bugeye Sprite and a not yet finished 1956 Chevy Belair Spt Cpe. Isn't this collecting bug great?

Thanks,
