TOPIC: Northcraft? North Craft? What year?

Hi there from a new member!
I'm a life-long resident of Ontario and been boating on the small lakes and rivers since I was a kid. Over the past month I picked up a mint 1964 West Bend 50hp outboard, a 1962 Gator trailer and a North Craft ....or.... Northcraft (?) 14 foot runabout. Right now I'm just toying with the idea of a restoration, but I was wondering if anybody could identify the vintage of the boat? As I understand from my searching on the net, Northcraft is a predecessor of Thundercraft/Cadorette of Quebec?
Thanks!
Steve

Another picture (unless I'm doing it wrong). I have the lower unit removed so I can rebuild it....just in case somebody wonders if I think the boat will run on PFM (Pure Frickin' Magic)
Cheers!

Not the same year as yours I suspect, but thought you might be interested in these Northcraft postcards I have.

Doug,
The Dart V-14 has to be the one! Excellent postcards, many than ks for posting! Can you read the date on the cancellation stamps?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi, can we have permission to add these postcards to the site's Library section?

Feel free to add them to the library. I have higher resolution scans if you want them.
I can't read the date in the postmarks on them unfortunately. The hull of the Dart does look like yours, but the winshield is different. I think these are probably somewhat newer than your boat.

Higher resolution would be great, you can add them here, email them to me, or post them in the Library Additions forum
