can't is not a word i know

[Tainted Halo]

Hi all I'm new here but i have read posts for a while.... so i bought a boat a trailer and Outboard... for a buck... From my initial research its a Johnson TRL-10r serial # C0588616. a lot of elbow grease okay fine mass amounts of grease but i will get her running. i may need other help but the dilemma i have is what kind of boat do i have? there are no tag's no numbers, no nofin... can anyone help me out and give me some ideas?

thanks

ah i am working on getting the file size down, but for now please go to my link....

Did you save a 2nd buck to buy some trailer wheels with? And based on the plate, it appears the boat was mfr. in Livonia, Michigan, fwiw. Good luck with it.

Re: can't is not a word i know

okay i took a few more pictures, after speaking to a few marine guys in Toronto they are telling me it's like a 1975 Larson all American. the thing is the glass does not look like in the pics on their vintage site, and the back looks out. as well overall size does not fit... this boat is 14' from tip to end, 57" wide in the very back and is 20 1/4" tall where the outboard sits. it is similar to a few Larson models from the late 60's and mid 70 but it does not jet.... any other opinions would be great... oh and yes both tires are on now

Is there a hull id number on the transom, perhaps on the starboard side?
Should start with 3 letters.

there is nothing.... it looks like some bad fibre work was done.... all that will need to be undone.... but as it stands right now there are no numbers... no letters

If the thing floats and the motor runs (for under a grand) you may have a deal. Otherwise, can you imagine getting rid of a white elephant like that for a buck.

Re: can't is not a word i know

wood is all good, there are no major rot spots it looks like it was well taken care of, as for the motor is she run great if not i will go buy a new ouboard. after reading some of the posts i may just go and buy a new one because the one i have seams to suck fuel like air.....

Good luck tainted... maybe open a thread on the boat restoration area and post lots of pics as you get into the rebuild.
