Kind of hard to tell exactly, but it appears to be a Fish & Ski. I'm looking at your photo of the transom area and it appears that you have shelf/step on each corner and the piece of deck that is laying on the center hull area looks to be the piece that fits in the raised forward deck area of the boat. I've seen many pictures of restorations of Bluefin boats on this form check them out. Good luck on your project.

mlplyer, this is a VERY active forum but I don't think you're going to see much action down here in the Blue Fin section. We've got a TON of tinnie restos going on here, mostly Starcrafts (which are built very similarly to your vintage Blue Fin) so I'd recommend you start a thread up in the restoration section. You'll get lots of help, I promise. Welcome to iboats!

(My Starcraft SS is very similar to your boat so you may get a few ideas from my project as well. Link in my signature.)

For windshields, try craigslist. I know up here in the Seattle area, there are multiple listing for boat windshields for sale. I picked up a windshield that was like brand new for $75.
