1961 Biesemeyer Rocket

[sergeantmike]

Neighbor just inherited a piece of history... photos to follow once the sun comes up.

1961 (Biesemeyer) Rocket Biese with fins.... how cool is that. Boat is rough. but it looks like he has all the rigging etc.

Will try and get him to do a thread here on the restoration.

I have a 58, Do you know bieser's well? If so, please look at mine in the V-Drive forum, " Trying to verify the back syore of my boat! " and give me your thoughts on her. I have been told its not a Biesemeyer but a Joe Winklepleck Rocket out of El Monte Calf.! I even bought the History of Biesmeyer Boats By Bill Biesmeyer, I think I found A pic of her on page 14, in the back ground of the bottom pic wit race car driver Jim Bryan and his cigar. More confused about her than when I started.

I have a 58 that is the same top as yours, the hull is way different.I am getting confused withthe info I have been getting. Now, Joe Winklepleck built Rockets in El Monte Calf.. I was told when I bought mine that It was a Biesemeyer-Pierson, all the biesers I have seen do not have the wings that our boats have????

Did Pierson build hulls to go under the bieser bubble back top??? You have looked at mine in "trying to find out the back story of my boat, or something like that, you've seen her.

If it has that deck and tail fins,its a Rocket.They were a splash of the biesmeyer hull.I have looked at both and the tail fins are a dead give away.
