Just bought this boat and I dont know what it is

Its says dorsett but all the 1964 versions I can find seem to not be this setup. It has an inboard mercruiser 120 and the top window is glass.

 

look here Dorsett - Classic Boat Library http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=Dorsett It looks like the 1963 or 1962 models. Models don't change that much from year to year.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like a Dorset to me.

Two years ago, I did the structural for a conversation to electric outboard.

 

Im trying to find more info the pink says its 20.5 ft. Is this a catalina?

 

Maybe yours is similar to the below one that looks to be from a Dorsett brochure, the lady seems to be serving beer, while the guy on the left is shooting skeet, which are thrown up by the guy on the right with a hand held clay pigeon thrower, all to demonstrate the boat's stability, I'll guess . .



Best scroll down the links for a type: - 1 - - 2 ^{several pages} - - 3

The pic popped up here and here for me from the first link, but without giving the type, hence I've assembled link 2 & 3 for trying to figure it out.

 

Holy crap I think thats it! Thank you.

 

Im new to boating. What is the benefit

 

I've added a last line to my previous post, good luck . .

 

The client ownes a cabin on the shore of a "quiet" pond. No gas engines allowed.

 

Ahhh ok. Im building this for ocean. So im thinking of just sticking with the 120 and 2 tanks of fuel

 

Thank you I saw that. Ill keep you guys updated.

 

Is there any documentation on foam in between the deck and the hull in the back?

 

Not likely in the 60's

 

You gain all the cockpit if you bracket on an outboard.

 

Serving beer while firing a shotgun in a boat. What could possibly go wrong!? That definitely looks like a 1960's era boat. Does the inboard engine still run?
