1957 echocraft runabout
Designed by Echo-Craft
A 1957 runabout by Echo-Craft, which is a restoration subject rather than a design to build from new. Boats of this kind and period were built in small numbers by regional American yards, and the records that survive are usually whatever an owner can find, so no dimensions or construction details are recorded here rather than guessed at.
A restoration is a different job from a build, and the hours reflect that: the work is survey, strip-down, replacement of what has failed and matching what has not, in proportions nobody can predict until the boat is open. If you are restoring one, your log is the best record this page will have. Any hours logged appear below.
What building a 1957 echocraft runabout actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
