Seeing as they are located in Oconto, WI, they may very well be Cruisers, Inc. or Cruisers division of Mirro which were made in Oconto.

Possibly any other local builder such as Carver, Thompson, Badger Boat Corp.

Thank you Andreas. I'm willing to bet that you are spot on here.
haven't heard back from him yet.... If he gets back to me and still has them, I'm going to nab them up if they aren't in to bad of shape.

judging by your info and Thomson/cruisers inc timeline, they started building fiberglass boats in 1965, and in 1971 was sold to miro and moved to manitowok, which isn't too far from oconto. judging by the timeline, they very well may be Cruisers inc molds circa 1965-1971. I'll do some more research while I wait for the owner to reply.

Maybe Switzercrafts? They were built in Crystal Lake Ill. Not that far away.

If they are switzer craft molds,they'ed be worth a fortune... never know. hard telling what they are. could be some home jobbies someone did and abandoned... the fact that there are 3 different boat molds, means either, the molds are not complete or it could be one complete set of molds for one boat and beings there are three, they probably are from an actual boat manufacturing business from that area. Not being able to see them no one knows, I'm willing to bet Andreas is right, they are probably cruiser's Inc molds, most likely from between 1965 to 1971, probably their cathedral hulls, which I am fine with even if there is no complete set of molds (only hull molds), would still make some decent low cost fishing boats for extra cash. I'm estimating that a 14' hull would cost roughly 2k lay gel and lay up, one can be layed up a week on the weekends. heck even if you can pull in an ROI of 1500 when they sell, that's a pretty decent chunk of change, when they sell.
