TOPIC: 1959 Ft Worth-built 15 foot CORSAIR RUNABOUT ??

1959 Ft Worth-built 15 foot CORSAIR RUNABOUT ?? 9 years 8 months ago #104439

Friends,

I've found a Ft Worth, TX built 15 foot CORSAIR runabout on a 1959 (probably DALTEX) 2-wheel trailer.
(CORSAIR was one of the 150 or so smaller, independent, boat-builders of our State, that were in business from WWII to about 1975. = As best as I can determine, this is the 65th hull that CORSAIR built.)

What I'm trying to find is a GOOD (preferably color) PHOTO of the interior seating/furnishing of the fifteen foot 1959 runabout.
(The runabout pictured in the 1959 ad in the fiberglassics library is the same hull.)

Friends,

About 2100hrs, 19JAN15, I "lucked out" on the history of CORSAIR (I think!), as I talked by phone to a grandson of Dewey Yates & he said that a younger brother of the builder/owner is still alive, mentally sound & worked at CORSAIR MARINE in Ft Worth.
(I have a "phone interview" set up for 1800hrs., 20JAN15 with the uncle.)
I'll let everyone here know what, if anything significant, that I learn from him.)

yours, satx
