    Default You were a Drake?.......

    Huh? I know this should be looked into..............

    Does a Byers have the low cockpit sides like that? The cowling might be a replacement............

    Default Bell Craft possible.

    I bought a Bell Craft from Fred H. at Depue a lot of years ago and that sure looks like one. The high cowl was the point that made me think of the Bell Craft from Marcelle.

    Thanks guys for all the imput. I'll take somemore pictures so you can see it better..It's been so cold to mess with. I live in Memphis TN and bought here from a guy thats had it a warehouse for 15 years. It has a sticker on the dash that said Jamison Equipment Emmetsburg IA. He said he bought from Steve Deercup BlueWater Restoration in Emmetsburg? Could never get in touch with him. Then the trail went cold? I love the little boat and have never owned anything like this..looks like fun. I've always heard hold on and turn left!!!

    I could be a Krier. While Ken Krier mostly built runabout I know he built a least one C-D Marchetti copy because he copied the dimensions of my 12' boat but made it longer. He also put a higher more rounded cowl on it. This could be the boat. It belonged to Barry Wilson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I'll see if I can find a picture of it and post it.

    Not a Byers. Byers hydro's had a round nose.This boat has a pointed nose. I know that Byers built boat's in almost any style, but this is not one.

    It might be a BellCraft, it does look a lot like my 12'6" Bellcraft that I ran in AOH back in 70-71.

    Looking at it from that angle it is not a BellCraft, the Bellcraft's deck had more arch IIRC.

    Default Marchetti Restoration

    New Marchetti hydro added to my collection. What color should I make the deck and who's number should I use to finish the restoration.
