Help Identify My Boat Please

[Hamhouse]

I recently bought this 14' boat in Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada and I have no clue what the make or model is. The engine is a 1970 Johnson 60 HP and is not the original. The boat is all fiberglass and may have had steering on the LH side at one time. It is clearly a 1960's or 70's boat. There are no identifying marks or a serial plate anywhere on the boat.

Thank You All for any suggestions you may have. Scanning internet boat photos is sooooo boring!

Well, from the vessel license number (59E 2921), the boat was originally licensed in Barrie, ON.

Contact Transport Canada with the number...they may still have info on it.

You'll have to transfer ownership into your name as well.

Transport Canada has revamped their licensing due to the fact that years ago they did a study that found over 65 percent of all boats in canada were not licenced to the current owner due to ornerous requirements.Ive never even heard of somebody being checked ,and i have been personally stopped several times ,asked my name and been sent on my way with numbers that were not mine .For what ever reason we think its a national sport.Not sayin its right just stating the facts.For an example on my brothers lake theres several pontoon boats from mich,ohio,ill,and even one from texas but no residents from those states boat there.Is that boat maybe an old baja?

Thanks blackburb, those guys spotted it in under 2 hours! It is a G-W Invader hull, possibly model Charger. Still trying to confirm a year and the model.

Turns out it's a 1970 G-W Invader hull. Apparently in 1970 the U.S. had not yet mandated the use of Boat I.D. numbers? Maybe that's why it has no I.D. plate.
