Here are a couple of 60's era Keaton Inboards
The one on the left is the same boat as the 1963 above
prior to being restored

Another older inboard - not sure of year although believe it to
be a mid-1960's similar to the one above
This boat has been seen at a Yuba City storage yard

Believe the following boat was made from the Keaton utility mold after
the mold was sold by Keaton. The belief is that this hull/boat was not made by Keaton.
It's shown here because the belief is the hull was made from the Keaton designed mold
and the quality of workmanship the owner displayed in completing this boat.
If anyone has any info to refute this then please let me know
The engine is a 350 bored .030 over with fuelie (double-hump) heads, Glenwood exhaust,
edelbrock intake, carter afb carb
According the owner's father who purchased the hull:
"I purchased the hull in 1980 from a guy in Sacramento that said his uncle, who had work with
Jack Keaton, had made the last two boats from the original mold. The hull had only a prop shaft
and a paint job on it when I bought it. I custom-built whatever I could and modeled most of it from
an original Keaton that a good friend of mine had here in Reno. I made up the hull # in order to register it."

1975 Master Craft Plastics 350 Chevrolet
This boat was purchased new from MCP in August of 1975. Boat is built off the original Keaton
Utility mold. It was the first boat built by them with tournament style seating
