What kind of boat is this?

[170freedom]

Title says 1972 16' Stamas. Hull has no numbers or tags in all the usual places. I bought it as a project (needs new floor), but after looking it over it has the signature Stamas bow at the top of the keel at the rub rail. The hull is incredibly thick,the thinnest part (5/16") is at the top of the sides just below the rub rail and the stringers are over kill- keel stringer is 3" thick and 12"s tall and tapers down to 3.5"s at the base of the transom at the stern. The outer stringers (between the keel and the chine) are the same 3" thick and 6"s tall and taper down to 2"s at the transom/stern. The hull had a thru hull from a old live well, at that location the hull is a solid 7/16" and that hole is located midway between the keel stringer and the outer stringer. This thing is a beast!!! I hope somebody can help me find some info on this hull, it has nice lines and is begging to be used again. The actuall length is 16'-6"s, and the beam is just over 7'.I will post pics as soon as I get them down sized.

I don't know what it is, but I like it! Looks like it'll give you a nice dry ride.

Stamas boats always seemed to have a good reputation as a good solid boat. I was never too impressed with their styling (a bit on the boxy, sort of slab sided appearance) but they were good performers.
