Been lurkin around here for quite some time, just picked got this old girl from a buddy who had it for a while after his buddy moved away. Not sure what year she is, anyone know?? All we know is its an Arkansas traveler. My buddy got it with no floor or stringers, so I decided to take the cap off and get at the transom while i was at it. Here it is, anyone recognise it??

Just took the rub rail off
