I bought this boat 2 years ago with just a bill of sale. I previous owner had no title and couldn't remember the make. Does anyone know what it might be? I do know it's late 60's early 70's and it was a dark green originally.

Nice work on the boat. It looks similar to a Feather Craft. But then so many boats were built like that. Hard to say... JMHO!

I'm 99% positive it's not a Feathercraft, sorry GM, lots of small tin boats looked similar

Crestliner
Alumacraft
Starcraft

would be my 1st 3choices.

More pix that show the transom in and out better, a shot of the bow plate and an overhead of the interior.

Larger pix would help too.

If there is a transom knee brace, and there's a stamped number on it, it's probably an Alumacraft. Knee brace runs from the bottom of the hull up to the transom to reinforce it. The triangle shaped piece in this pix:

thanks for the pix Bob ;)

I guess my other pictures are too big to upload.
I'll see if I can make them smaller and repost them.

I thought the bottom drain was kind of unique.

Looks like an old Crestliner I had with the self drain in the floor.

I thought it might be. When I was prepping for paint I found some dark green paint and my first thought was Crestliner.
