We need some help identifying the manufacturer who made this aluminum flat bottom 14 ft. boat that Has a 4 ft. beam. The HIN plate has either been taken off or fallen off. After tons of hours of research, I thought I might ask for help. The closest model we could find were MonArks but even then, there were differences. It’s believed to be a 1976 but I can’t verify that either. The transom, the flat side rails with ridges and the handles on the back are unique features it seems.

Welcome aboard.

That thing could be made by anybody. I'd do some searching on Montgomery Ward and Sears Jon Boats and see what you come up with. They're pretty common boats.

If the HIN isn't stamped into the stern, then you're probably earlier than '76. More like '73 or earlier.
