1959 FleetStar in CT

This boat hails from Southington CT.   It’s been customized with a cool Chris Craft windshield and has 1968 Mercury 500.     The owner is looking to connect with other Hiliner owners in the CT Area.

 

Help Identify this Hiliner

Robert Henry sent in this picture of his fathers boat, taken in the early 60’s.  Bob is looking for help identifying the model and finding plans.  If anyone can help, please send me a message.

1960 Fleetstar went in today for a shake down.  Only a few leaks.

My 1961 Seastar went in so I could swap the trailers.  Thought this was a good time to take a few pictures.

1958 Brochure

The 1958 brochure was a foldout poster.  These are the front and back scans of the folded poster.  I don’t have a scanner big enough for the poster size portions.  Also attached is the 1958 price list.
