Hello everyone, new here and to the boating scene. i recently purchased an old 14 foot fiberglass boat that i am going to do a restoration on but would like to know if anyone recognizes what this is. I have it registered as what the previous owner had it registered as, "1977 UNKNOWN" (unsure if the year is even accurate.) i have searched for any numbers on the boat and all is sanded over or filled in on the transom.

it has a 1971 Johnson 50 that after some carb cleaning and minor tuning is purring like a kitten. runs like a champ other than being over propped. (looking for a tach to see what RPM we are running before i just buy lower pitch prop and it still be wrong.)

Looks like everyone who has viewed the post so far is stumped.... including me. Sorry, I can't help with the make or model. BUT Welcome to fiberglassics ! someone may recognize it ? I'm guessing 70's sounds correct ?

Thanks for the reply. Even though you are as well "stumped" I appreciate the welcome and the response. I am hoping someone recognizes it and replies or gives me some more direction to look on line. even though I have spent hours and hours looking at old boat pics, catalogs, and ads.
