1958 Crestliner project for someone near Boise

[Still Afloat]

I just saw this on FB Marketplace. Looks like a fun project for $300 but, I have boats a plenty. This is not my boat and I don’t know the seller, just passing it along to the group. If interested search FB Marketplace Boise for: “1958 Crestliner Voyager”

Yep. Neat looking old boat. If I lived on a lake I’d fix it up for the wife.

100%. I have the '57 Viking sister ship. The Voyager 14 and the Deluxe Viking were essentially the same boat for a couple of years.
Both 250lb hulls, 14ft, and rated at 60hp.

Cool boat! I had a 1957 Viking, too. The previous owner cut away half of the front cover and converted it to an open boat. Was VERY solid and well built.

Ran great with a 25 hp tiller on the back.

That boat came with a wrap-around plexiglass windshield. I once fabricated one from 3/8" plexi, and I was pretty proud of that.

It looks like you could install remote steering and set it up with a couple seats like a runabout.

If I ever found one in restorable condition I would snatch it up in a heartbeat.

The FB listing had a bunch of wood parts, including a dash. It was originally set up for remote. I think it would be necessary for balance with a 50 or 60hp OB on a 14’ boat.
