Re: help identify manufacturer and year

registration card only has a number and the year is 0000. i think someone got creative during the registration process at some time in the past. at least the length is correct on it.

thanks

Ayuh,.... know whatcha mean,...
I once bought a 22' lowsided aluminum hull that had papers for a 1950something 19'er....
From a local Game Warden at that....:rolleyes: ;)

I donno what yer hull is, I'm guessin' pretty old, with those rounded corners....

Re: help identify manufacturer and year

splashwell design, drain holes, hull shape, bench seats, riveted-on spray guard,

all of these look very much like an Alumacraft, mid 60's to early 70's, give or take a few.

Looks very similar to a couple I have had.

Is the drain hole threaded inside, or smooth?

well, ironically, this one used to belong to a game warden also... perhaps they confiscate them of find them and get 'em registered???

don't ask, don't tell I guess.
