What I got here is A 1957 Lanney's. The only number is on the top back corner rails no 180. This boat belonged to my sister life long friends dad. He bought it new for water sking in North Idaho. Last county till you hit Canada. It had A 45hp Scott-Mcculoch, seaking stering wheel and cable. It was passed thru their family for a few years, was even flipped and left in river for a few months, than my sister's family got it and used for years. About 2-years ago I was up visiting, it was sitting in the drive way, getting a tire fixed. They were going to take it to local auction and if it didn't sell it was going to the scrap yard. They said if I hauled it I could have it. You all know how free thing from family works out, HA. So I gave them 20.00 for it. I hauled it 80-miles home. Thinging what have I done. Showed it to wife she shook her head, closed door. Who can understand them anyway. Clean3d carbs, fuel pump, threw away gas thank, changed plugs, after A little tinkering and talking to the Scott guy, it actually fired up and ran. But getting parts was more than I wanted to deal with.It had 3-bench seats, with something that might have been some sort of floatation mostly alot of Bees nests. Took it to A truck wash, acid wash. Had no camera at that time. Striped it down, filled with water, no leaks, trailer was in worse sheap, bent, got a used one cheap, than fixing old one, keep the fenders, put new floor, motors sides and went fishing. Any body knows of these boats, picture the people that had this, had A house fire so all pictures and ever thing else was a lost Thanks Ron
