couple of months ago, i came across this old woodie at Bucksport Marina on the Waccamaw River, south of Myrtle Beach.

still afloat, barely and a sad sight but she must have been gorgeous in her days.

wonder what it is... looks very much like the 1961 Grebe pictured in an another thread.

Pacemaker?

[CODOG]

The hull flare and straight sheer line kind of reminds me of a PT boat. Conversion perhaps ?

[SeaEric]

Not a Pacemaker. Not a Trumpy. Could be a Grebe, could be a Stephens perhaps. Or, ?

[SeaEric]

She looks like this boat, which is a John Alden.

[dennismc]

Bow flare looks Pacemaker, but, I think the rest is a modification of something else..??

I'll have to do some thinking. The boat was offered to me about 6 years ago. It was a one of a kind by a major manufacturer. The Weaver Bros. who owned the marine had it. Call Bucksport Marine and ask for any of the Weavers.

I keep coming up with a prototype Chris Craft Sportsfisher.

Don't think this is a Grebe, I worked for them 1956-63 and Grebe used round portholes forward of the Main Salon. Would have to look at the bow to really make a determination, but this is a sad example of lack of care and attention to style. The hand built boats we did in the 50's and 60s were works of art almost Picasso's or Renoir's , though my contribution as a teenager doing small tasks, learning the art of boat building, fancy rope work for a few, and taking customers around the city of Chicago, were not much.
Warm regards,
