this boat is built just like my Crestliner speedster. the deck, ribs, dashboard , transom supports, and corner cap look the same.
Gary, thanks for your reply. Is “Speedster” a term used for your style of boat,
or the model? I’m not finding a Crestliner Speedster, per se
Crestliner used “Speedster” to designate several different models when they came with a full front deck. Most common are Commander12 Speedsters, Commodore14 Speedsters. See the speedster designation under the outline drawings in the catalog page below from 1958.

Note the triangular transom support brackets with the big hole in them in the Sea King are not like any Crestliner I’ve seen. I agree the splash rails and a lot of the riveting is similar, but the floor ribs on the Sea King stick up higher than the Crestliner ones…..again – all this matches my Barracuda, and do not match my three Crestliners. I could take pics, but right now the Barracuda is upside down on the trailer with a foot of snow on it.
