She has a Merc 4cyl inboard/outoard and the emblems on her cuddy say "MARK IV" Here is the pic of her when first got her Thank you - Chrs Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

CHRIS.: WELCOME, CONGRATS.. My early 1st guess/ comment would be towards a DORSETT.. We have a LIBRARY here & a link for the 1960's cuddy mentions a MARK II series.. !! www.fiberglassics.com/library/Dorsett .If the side logo
says another name,, COBIA was similar along with another name of that era.. Any name PLATE / TAG around the rear splashwell area. ?

Then again maybe i'm missing a model. There is no nameplate unfortunately Cheers, Chris Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I couldn't raise anyone at the house it was parked at so didn't crawl around it. Last registered in 2010. Melanie Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Dorsett factory burnt down in 1971, Sierra used there molds after that for a few years. 1963 was the last year of the stub nose stile and what you have is the stile that the Catalena had from 1964 on. i have a 1964 Dorsett San juan, 18 ft outboard, same stile. i have had 3 Dorsett Catalina's and a few other Dorsetts. i live 7 miles from whare there factory was. charlie

I just came across this post and when I saw the pic you provided, I remembered that I had seen one of those for sale on ksl's classifieds. I'm kinda glad to know all this info about it now. Having just sold my Catalina (sadly and regrettably), the boat looked vaguely familiar but the lines didn't seem right. Now it all makes sense. Here's the post:
