This is the 1961 16' All-American hard-top, a smaller model: www.woodyboater.com/blog/2015/09/03/2015-gull-lake-classic-boat-show-part-two-something-for-everyone/ Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I have a similar Larson All American that has a Brunswick hardtop, who owned Larson for only a few years, 1960-1961 or so. Ours sports a top windshield and v-berth interior. Email Larson with your serial number and they might be able to identify the year and where it was built. They sent us some pdf brochure pages that showed ours and the serial number logs from the factory. A fun day cruiser, perfect for our area lakes.

First, do no harm!
It's a lot easier to buy a boat than sell a boat.(Stole this from a member!)
All that work and hardware store mailbox letters for the hull? Tsk tsk..

Here's the information on your Surfmaster. The Surfmaster was the only Larson with the upswept stripe on the hull side. They were introduced in 1958, but this style was introduced in 1960. Is there a serial number anywhere on the boat? Here are the brochure pages from 1960 through 1962. 1961 is the only match to your boat.
