Well I picked this one up for $100 without the trailer so I had to use one of my other trailer. I have no idea what make this boat is, I did get a bill of sale for it but it doesn't even have the numbers on the side, I found what should be the serial number plate. I have some big plans for this thing. Even though it is a deep hull I was thinking about setting the bow up as a casting deck. I didn't recieve a steering system with this boat but I have one older style and one newer style hidden in there somewhere.
I honestly was looking for a semi V or flatbottom boat when I came across this one but I couldn't pass this one up. This boat here should handle up to a 40hp if not a hair bigger, I have just the motor to put on it, the 1957 35hp Evinrude
. On the sides I was thinking of cutting a tire and bolting it down so it would create a non slip surface but I think it would make it look tacky though. I couldn't believe it came with 2 complete older style pedestals and 1 incomplete. All the wooden framing for the closed bow looks in good shape, I don't know if they have replaced that already or not but I'm going to leave that alone. Bad part is they used small wire for the whole wiring throughout the boat so I might as well look forward to replacing that. The hull looks to be in great shape.
Here are some pics.

)
Projects include: To many boats, to many outboards, and 1 I/O that I hope to be rid of soon.
My latest project, 14ft aluminum deep V
. I have no earthly idea what their rules/laws are on the hull numbers or paperwork. I do know that they are not strict on titles for older boats. They wanted every bit of info on the old bass boat project, even though it didn't include a motor they wanted the motor listed on the bill of sale even though I told them that it didn't have a motor when I got the hull
