Can you identify this boat?

This photo is of my grandmother and her beloved boat in front of our family cabin in Minnesota. I would guess it was taken in the early 60s. Anyway, I own the property now and my grandmother and boat were gone before I was born. I'm wondering if anyone can identify the make/model/year of this boat. I would love to find one to restore.

Barring more info or pix, I'd bet it was a kit boat built by your grandfather or someone else in your family.

W out dimensions to work from, unless someone owned the exact same boat, its going to be tough to ID positively.

Any idea what motor is hiding uder the cover at the bottom center of the pix?

Start pouring thru vintage wooden runabout pix.

Heres a list of a few.

Some probably have pix. Others may only have details and dimensions.

Good luck on your quest, great that you want to recreate it

No idea what's under the tarp unfortunately. Thanks for the info though.

You may still be able to find a kit, or look on wood boat sites and find one close to it.

Found these being made in the UK. Change the seats and it would be real close
