TOPIC: New Member - My 1973 Crestliner Muskie15

Hi to ALL! I ran across Fiberglassics.com by chance, and am glad to have found it.

I was searching Google for any information on my boat (that my wonderful Uncle gave me a couple of months ago), and ran across the thread by smalltownguy2 regarding the 1973 Crestliner Muskie 15 that a relative had given him ... was almost eerie... Both of our boats were gifts from a relative, both were in pristine condition, and both same model in the same color option. It really was a surprise to see the photos of his boat!

The only differences are:

Motor - Mine is 73 Evinrude 65, his is 1973 Johnson 65 (same engine with different paint and cover, as both made by OMC).

Dash - his speedo (same one) is on opposite side of the steering wheel

Logo - Mine only says Crestliner, while his is AMF Crestliner.

I know for certain that my boat never had the AMF logo, from photos taken in the seventies (I was young when he took me out on that boat).

What a coincidence!

She's a beaut, Clark. That's what my Sister said about mine. It is really a gorgeous boat. Mine is a 71, with rotton wood. I am gutting her today. I wish she was ready for the lake.
It is inspiring to see these gorgeous boats. It makes me want to continue the restoration. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck putting yours back together. That is a big job, but will definitely be worth the work when you get her back on the water. Gotta keep 'em dry inside!
