I just recently "aquired" a boat not sure what it is, and neither is the guy I got it from. Heres a picture, The Family and I are going to be using her as a winter project.

Welcome to the group, Tom. That looks like a great boat. The cabin top looks like it may have some "modifications", but the rest looks to be in good shape. Is it a plywood hull? We are just getting set up to tear into a 1957 Tollycraft cabin cruiser. It has a plywood hull that has seen better days, so we will be removing the side and transom to replace with new wood along with what ever else pops up along the way. Keep us posted on your progress.BRIAN FRANCHINI

Welcome Tom.
I am sure some of the boys will be able to give you a idea on what she is.
Some of those older wood boats were kits too.
That one sure looks sweet.

Thank you for the warm welcome, from what I have been able to tell she is plywood and fiberglass, she has been setting for a good 20 +years but still hold water, she seems very solid considering the state we found her in. I have yet to find any clue as to year or make. This is my first boat restore, and I am sure that I will have many questions, the price was right and the whole family wants to help get her back into the water.Comment
