Found an old boat. alumacraft 1950s

[sam daniels]

Several weeks ago I ran across an a old gental man that was moving an wanted some one to haul off an old boat. I told him I could help. It was a aluminum boat. Found out it was an old 14 ft alumacraft Merry M modle in great shape. No holes or dents, Just a few water marks from setting in the weeds. Wood was gone in the transom and has a bow cover that is held in place with 2 rivets. there is a seat under this cover. This boat has never been stickered or titled. Is this a boat I should go fishing in or restore as a collectable

A nice old boat, and pretty seaworthy too.
