I just bought a 14 ft v hull jon boat made of riveted aluminum with a 1963 Gale Buccaneer 15 hp motor. I've taken this boat out twice and it is very fun and handles well. My question is where can I find out who made this boat? I've searched all over it and there is no name brand nor serial numbers. The boat seems to have and old green paint job so i suppose the brand was painted over? Can anyone give me some ideas as to how to identify this boat? Pictures are below.DSCN1255.jpgDSCN1254.jpgDSCN1256.jpg
Thanks!

Welcome to iboats.

Unless somebody actually recognizes it, your chances are virtually nil. It's an old boat and literally hundreds of small manufacturing concerns have dabbled in boat building over the years. It takes very little capital expenditure to build an aluminum boat, especially if the company already fabricates aluminum products.

Good luck.
