Captain Fintastic Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 26 Karma: 2 Thank you received: 0	This is a 16' boat with flared back with fins (my profile pic). This is a pic of the bow light. Looks very 'star trek' looking. The cleats are equally as cool. Curved etc. I figure if anyone knows this hardware they will know the boat.

."CF" Most of the time Hardware was a Dealer installed choice / option. Names like Jervis ,/ Kainer & one other double name were sort of upgrade over Perko. . Some builders like Glasspar did have a signature cleat early 60's. . That bow light is one found on E-bay ocasionally. .. The curve cleat is sort of unique , (?) , so will be interesting to learn, but the boat is also nice.
SEARCH prior forums , here is talk of " ATTWOOD " space light ..!

Another ATTWOOD space light , three pod RIVIERA , E-bay dealer.

..Boat ID .? .The Library here only has the 1961 brochure , & your fins & bow light look 58 - 59 period., but since you live in this region my 1st choice would say " Pacific Marnier" www.fiberglassics.com/library/Pacific_Mariner .Your profile has words of Speed QUEEN,,? NOt sure if you own multiple boats.

Attwood was common hardware used on boats, but this style not used as often. Andreas Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I love it! They really like you on here Neil! So this boat sat in a field overgrown with shrub barely noticeable from the highway. But My "findar" went off every time I passed it so I finally stopped. That hardware on it is absolutely PERFECT. Looks like the guy walked out in the field everyday and polished it. We are inland far from salt water and that helps. I'm stumped as to the make of this boat though. For a while I thought maybe a Commando cuz I saw another onefor sale with the same hardware. But it was different.(the boat)

Leave the hardware on it and enjoy it forever. There would be many a envious boater wanting it, me included. I hope you save it. Too cool!!

Your S is going to be electric start no alternator.
The 58a will be all Cloud White with a chrome wrap and faceplate. It also has the more square hat. Beautiful little Merc.
Your S would be a great motor on it also.
I am looking forward to a post soon with a pic of it in your driveway captioned "Its mine, its all mine."

Ask the owner if the hardtop is in the garage..! Believe only a few of these handbuilt were ever found ,as they were made out of automobile parts.
