Help identifying manufacturer

[Dekker500]

Boat is missing its ID plaque. It is a 12' aluminum, with this symbol on both sides near the back. Any suggestions welcome!

No help here. Looks like a nice lil rig though.

Thanks! It's not big or beautiful, but it serves its purpose, for which I am happy.

The symbol has been "photoshopped" to enhance the outline, in case that helps anyone...

Valco was what came to.mind when i saw the 'crown' shape, but it doesnt really match after looking at several Valco logos.


Lots of tin boat makers listed here:

If you look thru them all, including the glass boat makers, you might find it

Do you have photos taken from the stern, bow and side. Often brands have design features which make IDing a snap. And sometimes it ends up being a "Myboat". :smile:

Excuse the re-purposed photos, but...

And if you squint you can kind-of see the stern.. You can see the crown symbol on the sides.

JBCurt00, I had seen that list before, and browsed through a bunch of them. Its a shame that they don't have "logo" shots for all the manufacturers on their initial page! Or possibly most manufacturers didn't incorporate logos...

Lets do a little photo editing, It might help.

I dont know why, but I still think thats a Valco logo, despite not matching the FG sites pix...

JB, I have a Valco and it does not have a logo like that on it, there were some real confusing things going on back in those days with aluminum boat companies and somehow Western Aluminum and Valco ended up being the same company and now they are owned by another aluminum boat company.
