TOPIC: Tollycraft Rumpus question

So... I picked up what i was told was a 1958 Tollycraft Rumpus. I am not sure of the year, but the Scott outboard is a 1958 60hp (which seems too much power for this boat). I need to find the manufacturer plate so i can get the hull identification number- any ideas where to look?

HIN's weren't required until 1972. It very well may not have one.

yea, i can't find any info on this yet... no manufacturer tag is easily visible

so i found out this boat is a 1957... i am in the process of scraping off the old paint to get to the mahogany veneer. I found the lower rear stern of the boat appears to have been painted in gold-ish paint... i assume it must have looked simillar to the photo here... anyone have color photos of this model boat?

very cool... can you post pics of what you are finding under the paint?

I think back then the wrong year happened a lot on the registration. I think they went with the year that it was sold new. I have a 1959 Thompson that is registered as a 1962. The motor that was on it was a 1963 Merc. I found no evidence that any other motor was ever on it. That being said, I think it sat at a dealership until 1962 or 63 when it was sold as new.

I am sure that has happened...however based on the b/w foto and the 1970's registration info that i found, i expect that date to be pretty accurate.
