I recently became the owner of my very first boat! I’m super excited and I wanted to restore it to original fori have. One problem,…I don’t know what I have. The motor is a Johnson super sea horse 50 mm add in 1958 according to serial numbers. But the hull is not identifiable in any obvious way. I’ve searched for about a week now for every type of fiberglass hull just trying to match the hull with something similar but to no avail. It was suggested that I make my way to this forum for real aficionados. I have attached sine images any help in id’ing this thing will be greatly appreciated. It is approximately 13’ long

I was wondering (before I make the long trip out there to see it) if someone could possible identify it? Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
