Mike-
great find, a 1957 ! Can't tell from the pics if the glass on the upper windshield is cracked or not. If not cracked, a keeper, those are valuable, along with the fiberglass frame.
Not a color scheme we've seen from factory, must be a later application. Maybe the "new" paint covers the 1957 hull stripe.
Looks like an original canvas top frame sitting in horizontal position there.
Also a common thing to see is the cut down of the transom for a 20" motor. From the factory they came with a 22" height to accommodate the common "longshaft" twin OMC 35's of the era. Cut down was usually done by the marina that outfitted the boats and it was a crapshoot as to whether they did a competent job on the glass patch in that area.
Nice pics, Mike, and thanks for posting. Cool to find another....Any idea if the owner was thinking of selling ?

I thought you bought this one? I'm interested in the upper glass, but would hate to part out a boat that can be restored.

[mike pingatore]

kelly not parting it out its a great boat for a new club member
