Hello Everyone-
This boat has no builder's mark that I can find.
She is 128" (3 1/4 Meters) in length and 4 foot wide at the oarlocks.
Thanks in advance for your knowledge!20220911_122209.jpg20220911_122230.jpg20220911_122244.jpg

I wouldn't call that a dinghy. It's an aluminum V-hull powerboat, or runabout.

It has the looks of a Feathercraft. Look up Fiberglassics.com, take the library link, go to aluminum boats and then scan all the pictures of the different makes.

That might take awhile, but maybe someone else will have a better idea and it will shorten the task.

@Sacco and Vanzetti not in the US, correct?
Rounded stern/tumblehome sort of hints as a Feathercraft, but most definitely not a Feathercraft.

Unique buttress structure should help ID it, but don't expect you find it amongst the aluminum boats @ Fiberglassics library.

You own it? What'd the seller say it is?

It looks like it had a NY registration with part of it removed. It's definitely a NY registration sticker.

On my phone missed the NY. Canadian built, imported to US maybe..
Seen thousands if old tin boats, never anything even similar, so figured not US based

Thanks for the thoughts everyone.
The previous owner had no details. I believe he got it used himself. I've been image searching it for several days and can't find anything 'exactly similar'.
I was also thinking some sort of Feathercraft knock-off and as JBCURT00 suggests, I am within 20 miles of Canada and the St. Lawrence so a foreign origin is definitely possible.
