LOOKING TO IDENTIFY THE MODEL OF THIS CRESTLINER

[CAPTAIN CANUCK]

Measure 14' 11" LOA. Rated at 60HP any assistance will be greatly appreciated. TIA JD

Best guess is that it is a 15' Dane from either '66 or '67. The weight capacity is listed at 1500lbs with a max hp of 80 but it's the only Crestliner that I can find that matches the style, including the weird rib on top that was apparently designed to hold a cover.

agreed.

For what it's worth, Canbar is the the Canadian Crestliner and the model numbers (#1569) don't always cross over to the American catalogs that are on record.
But that being said, the Dane is the only aluminum 80hp rating at 15ft.

The canbar tag is what makes me a little uncertain. It lists the max hp as 60.

admittedly, I have zero idea how the plates work north of the border, but it appears you have two different things going on.

The red "Crestliner" titled data plate looks like the standard factory plate that I'm used to seeing. It also has Canbar Marine listed on the second line.
My reading of your pic is 80hp. (which matches the Dane's specs in 1966-67)

The reverse stamped plate that includes some french language is the one that states 60hp very legibly.

Looking through Crestliner's catalogs and data sheets, there are no 60hp ratings for any models.
I'm inclined to believe that the stamped plate is a misreading of the original plate when some province had to create their own HIN....similar to the state-created HINs that happen down here when registering pre-72 boats.

*edit: Actually, blowing up the stamped plate, it states that it's a DOT data plate, not factory.
I strongly suspect your hp rating is 80hp which matches the Dane for 66-67.
Dane went to 16ft and 100hp in 1968. Anything at 14ft, like the Sea Scout, is rated 50hp.

This is awesome information guys. Many THANKS!!

Good catch on the French. I didn't zoom in far enough on that plate to realize that it was printed in two languages. Since it is a bi-lingual plate, I'm inclined to agree that the 60hp rating was either a mis-read or a mis-print on either a provincial tag or a Canadian Government requitement. With how common French is in Canada, it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for some form of government to require important information be in both English and French.

In Canada, all packaged, canned or bagged products, directions etc. must have French and English on the label or information. All federal signage is to be bi-lingual as well. All of Quebec is french and nothing but. If you post an English sign or speak English it spells big trouble. They protect their language to the point of stupidity. All other provinces post signs in English.
