TOPIC: Norcraft

Does anyone know if any of these exist? Norcraft 14 foot runabout?

Not too much info in the glassic library, only a few brochure pages.

So I'm guessing it a rare boat?

Steve3730,

WELCOME ABOARD.

Steve3730,

Fwiw, you are quite LUCKY that there are even a few records of your boat in the FG Library and/or available at all. - I have TWO hulls that I can find NOTHING "printed" about ANY PLACE & there is not even a "mention" of either hull on "the worldwidewierd".
I finally found an 82YY man in Waco, who worked for one of the builders for 6 years AND who actually could remember specifics about the owners/factory/various models/changes to designs/optional equipment/seating & other valuable information.
Unfortunately, I've found NOTHING about the other boat/boat-builder from the FG library/internet/chamber of commerce in Paris, Texas or anything else, except that the company paid school taxes in Lamar County in 1955.
(Just here in Texas there was OVER 150 boat-builders that made, between 1950-70, from 1-100 & some large builders built MANY hulls. - Some "Texas boat-builders" actually completed NONE at all.)

Best wishes on your search/restoration, satx

Wow thanks and I got it for 50$ I will keep you updated we will have it ready for our boat show here in Minocqua in August!

And it is in really good shape!! Everything is in tack. It has a 1961 40 gale on the back!!

Steve. Post some info on the show in Minocqua. Just a few hours north of me in Suamico. Just might have my latest project, '64 Lone Star ready by then. Planning on the antique show in Door County, August also.

I sure will nothing up on it yet. Usually last weekend in July. This is 23 rd year!

Steve, I also would like info on the Minocqua show, I'm less than 2hrs in price co.

Thanks, Gene

P.S. I've heard it is mostly wood, I hope glass is OK.

Glass is fine!! As soon as they post show I will pass it on!!

There is an article on Nor-Craft boats on the Bob Speltz Land-O-Lakes Chapter of the ACBS website. www.acbs-bslol.com

Thank you

This was listed on Ebay back in 2006 as a 1957 Nor-Craft:

Nice this model was more common ...mine is 1953 glass base wood interior and wood deck
