Help needed in figuring out what co. made this boat ...

[werebear63]

Last yr I was given this 12' fiberglass boat, trlr and Johnson 9.5 for some welding I had done for the owner, he only had title for trlr. Can't find anything on the boat to ID it, make or manufacturer, thought you folks might have an idea. Would this be considered a jonboat ? I'm presently restoring it w/ a few mods.

Welcome to iboats!:welcome:

Your picture doesn't expand, so we can't see anything much. If the boat is newer than 1971, there would have been a hull identification number on the transom, starboard side. But it may have been on a plate that has since come off. Will you be able to register it with no HIN or paperwork?

Not a jonboat ... that's a good ole' rowboat. Looks fiberglass as opposed to aluminum. Might be tough to get an answer as to who built her. Looks like pre-1970. Is there a capacity plate on it anywhere? On those boats they're usually inside on the very back.
