How do I identify my new-to-me-boat?

[fullthrottle_man]

I was given a boat recently. There was no title for the boat, only the trailer. The only hull i.d. number is a hand-made one through the state of Montana. The motor is a 65hp Johnson hydro-electric shift, circa 1972 (according to model number). I'd like to figure out what year/make/model the boat is, but none of the pictures I've found online look like mine. I measured from the transom to the tip of the bow and it's about 14.5 feet long and fiberglass. It had a windshield on it at one time, but that is long gone. I attached pictures of the boat, and can take more as needed. I'm hoping someone here with some knowledge can fill me in on year/make/model so I can do some research on it (going to be restoring it to usable condition).

Hello, This is my first forum post ever. I'm going to add a fishing deck and live well to the front of my 14' boat. I've reviewed other similar projects and I think my buddy and I have the skill set to get this done. Hoping to get this done about 3 or 4 weeks time and i have about a grand...

You might check through Fiberglassics.com to see if they have something in their brochures.

In my state though, with no paperwork, you're in for a major headache getting it into your name. I'd get that squared first before sinking any $$$$ into it. But that's just me...

Steering wheel is the same in the thread you posted. Bow cover is definitely similar, but not quite exact. I'll check out that website (fiberglassics) and see what I can dig up there. It was last registered here in Montana, quite a few years ago (~'96 or so?). But here, I'd only have to do new registration with the notarized bill of sale so I'm not too worried about the title issue.
Thanks!
