    Have a 16' that purports to be a 53 Ventnor. Gauges look original but say 'Ventner'. Motor is a 327 Fireball that may have been added, as mounts look customized. Hull ID is MTZ 11763E191. Info is scarce. Have reached out to Chris Craft, but they haven't found anything. Anybody have any ideas on where I may find that hull ID? Will try to attach picture Thanks!

    '53 seems close, though the windshield is typical of 40s boats. Nice boat. I suggest keep searching the internet as in "Ventnor speedboat for sale" etc..
    You'll find something if you keep trying.
