I have the same question - HELP with the identification of an aluminum boat I purchased. It looks old - or at least older and I took out all the add-ons that had been installed - (two wooden seats). I got most of the paint off the boat so I've gotten real close to every square inch of this boat and found not identifying markings. It also had a rotten transom, so I took it out too - or what was left of it. It gave no clues either.

​I read I needed to make 3 posts before I can upload pictures, so given I'm new new to this site... I'll need to make a couple more posts before I can upload pictures and hopefully from there someone smarter than I can help identify this boat. It is what I would consider to be a 14' by 4' aluminum boat. It had some kind of a back seat, but I can't make out what it would have looked like given what is left. Someone added to a piece of aluminum, wooden pieces to make a seat, but they made it more forward that what I think it originally had. Ultimately, I would like to restore to original condition.

welcome aboard.

what does the paperwork you got with the boat say it is (title or registration)?

Why??

It's a used aluminum utility boat. What would knowing whether it is a Grumman, Alumacraft, Starcraft or Kingfisher do for you?

All I have is a proof of purchase. I don't have a title or anything like that as it belonged to an old guy with a pond who had it before the guy I bought if from who never really used it. As soon as I'm allowed I'll send pictures.

If it was my boat I'd want to know what it is, let's be a little nicer........
