TOPIC: Intro and mystery boat identification

Hi there,

Glad to now be on Fiberglassics.com, a really great site.

I'm a certified composites tech and work in aerospace.

Last year I bought a boat, motor and trailer off a guy for a couple hundred. I just wanted something to go fishing with and didn't care much about how it looks.

The boat has no id plate and some "custom" additions like bolt on gas bbq, nylon tied nav lights, two 4 inch holes through the hull with two 4" ABS pipes (these were used for baiting and keeping bluefish under the boat), various hardware store bolts, eyebolts, pipe strapping, plastic pipe rod and drink holders.

I would like to clean it up a bit but would like to ID the boat first.

I have a gallery with some pics set up here.

Any help on the ID would be greatly appreciated.

All the best and thanks in advance

Welcome to fiberglassics

Not a lot to go on in your pix, but the bow hatch certainly is distinctive, might help someone ID it...


Looks like a 50s or 60s boat, and there were LOTS of builders back then that built fewer then 5 boats before closing shop. Some didn't build any saleable boats before closing.

Look up under and behind both the dash and splashwell, sometimes theres a tag buried under/in the resin during production.

Thank you for the welcome jb.

I will take a closer look up behind the dash and splashwell. Thanks for the pointers.
