This boat has been sitting for sale for a few months now along the road I take to work. I decided to take a photo of it from the road today to see if anybody knows what it is? I thought it was a cool looking old boat.

It looks like a aluminum boat...... no motor...... it's a row boat!! :D

Unless you had an extra/spare motor around it would be best avoided ;)

I have not stopped and looked at it. This guy always has older boats like this sitting out there for sale. He has about 5 or 6 sitting in his yard under tarps in about the same condition.

I thought it was a pretty cool looking old boat and after this BAJA is done I might consider doing another one. I think the next one might be a twin engine 26 foot or bigger. :D

and FYI! If it has no motor I have NO use for it because it is going to take sosmekind of manual labor.

Chicken!!!!! Just knock on the door and tell him he has a really cool looking older boat and you wanted to know who manufactured it. It might be the deal/find of the century. Just do it! Go ahead! Do it! Don't be afraid!

It looks like a mid 50's Starcraft my dad used to have, if I remember right, it had a 35 hp evenrude and was about 16 feet. the motor was interesting, it pressurized the fuel tanks
