    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.
