Fancy old boat! Is it rare? Nice? Junk?
Family friend has this thing growing weeds in his side yard for the last 10 years. I'm debating if it's worth restoring. It does have some nifty lines on it though!
Anyone ever heard of it or seen one? It has a couple logos that said "craig" and "sabre" but internet turned up nothing.1) 1995 14' Bayliner Restoration <--Click

Okay I'll get this started. No holes, good glass, good lines. Classic Johnson probably a few years newer than the boat, maybe. Local boat brought back from the dirt floats smartly again after local man's restoration, more at 11

It does look pretty cool. Any idea of the condition of the motor? Those old three-cylinder OMCs were probably one of the best outboard engine designs of all time. I bet that boat ran very well with that power on it.

Well looky here - - - Found out what it is ! 1960 or 1961 "SABRE" made by Craig Industries... which was then sold to a company called American Marc, and renamed the boat the "GRANADA".

That hull is old enough it won't have any core. I guess the transom probably has wood in it, need to check condition (hard to imagine it is still intact after more than 50 years). Should be a much simpler restoration that a Hydrostream.
Per Rock:
"Once I bought my first Hydrostream boating changed forever for me."
Per my hero Instigator:
"I try not to let common sense interfere w/my boat buying decisions."
