    Last four digits are supposed to be month and year. So my “hin” shows boat to be built in september of 1977. No offense ga boater but i think you are as clueless as i am. Thanks for trying though

    Werent asbestos gloves outlawed with all asbestos in the late 1970’s? I suspect they would be itchy.

    Maybe you are right about coast guard using number as a registration type. Interesting model and maker doesn't jump out to someone. Its a goofy little thing but perfect for the little lake it will be used on.

    I thought the number would nail it but no responses. Somebody has to know.

    I understand. I have rescued and rebuilt a few before. Mostly Pelicans, couple vagabonds, a neptune and gloucester. I am a terrible sailor but cant neglect potential on an old crappy free boat Labor of love. Never get anywhere close to time and money i put in. Keeps me out of bar!

    These should be enough. Once i find out what it is i will be looking for rigging, mast, boom, rudder

    Hmmm. You might have something there. Boat was delivered today ( it was a freebie) and shoal keel is resting on center trailer board so i cant see it until i lift boat up. I also couldnt find any big obvious pivot bolt inside cabin which would support your idea. I should of posted more pics...
