I don't need another boat, but I DO want to add a 'tinny' to my collection... Someday.

Andrew,
It is a Texas Maid Fiesta 16'- the two portholes on the bow are the identifying details. Has an after market windshield. Late 50's or a 1960. In'6l, they got rid of the fins on the gunwales. Here is my 1961 Tahiti (same boat, just 2 feet longer and 3 portholes instead of 2). Brochures are in the library.

Thanks, Paul... I figured that the windshield wasn't original. I might go take a peek at it, I like the fins... Though I really don't have room for another...
