I'm trying to do a little research on it, thinking it's a 58 Jet De Ville? Hoping to water test this weekend and getting lots of looks. ha.

Paul P Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 7 Thank you received: 0	Wow that's really nice! I just bought a 1959 Jet Deville 3 weeks ago. I can't wait to get my boat looking that good again. Mine is a bit different as it is blue on white, whereas most of the ones I have seen online are red on white like yours. Good luck with it, Paul Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Someone just told me that my windshield is not original and now I can see there looks to be the spot where it should be. I'm in Central Pa, Dillsburg. We have a small RV lot, we traded this boat and a bass boat for a Key West Explorer, nice little fishing boat, and the guy who traded was just so nice and he did most of the work, sanding etc on Claire.

thompsonboat Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1418 Karma: 188 Thank you received: 19	Nice boat! It says OWENS on her so is it not an Owens? Cutter was a different company. But yes, Cutter was started and owned by Owens. So I assume there were close similarities. Andreas Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Shelby18 Offline Contributing Member Posts: 436 Karma: 18 Thank you received: 0	I bet you succeeded in getting those "looks"! Claire looks great out on her run. Thanks for posting the video. I always like it when the video shows more than just the wake at the back of the boat. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
