1958 REVIEW: "Casey-Craft, a concern that has until recently devoted just about all its time to building crew and workboats for the oil industry to use in the Gulf off Louisiana and Texas, has now started selling its boats to boat yards and individuals to finish as well as marketing fully completed steel outboards. The shell of a boat with nothing inside at all, or anything up to a boat with everything set to go can be purchased. A 20-footer (6-foot-9-inch beam) with all welded seems sells for $595 as bare hull or from $645 on up as a finished boat. One version of it, with a motor well set forward of the transom, is said to plane nicely with a payload of 1,000 pounds when driven by a single 25 h.p. motor. These boats are normally finished without flotation, although this could easily be added later by an owner. There is also a fintailed 20-footer which does 30 m.p.h. on one 60 h.p. motor and several larger hulls."
