In 2013, Keith Moore contacted me as he was looking to find a new home for his all original, including the seat cushions, Parsons Corporation-built 1959 Lake 'n Sea 14' Caribbean model (hull number 9475 0925).

New owner Keith Kesheneff was surfing Craigslist a while back and noticed a listing for a 1958 Land and Sea classic runabout with a 1963 40 h.p Evinrude outboard on a Sea King brand trailer.
