Did Alumacraft make a 19 footer in late 50s?

The Alumacraft pictured below is supposed to be 19 feet long. It has a wacky wood cuddy cabin added on it. Questions:

What model might this be? Any pictures of what is was supposed to look like before this wood cuddy modification?

Could this Alumacraft possibly still be structurally sound? I see no sign of cross members (benches, seat backs, etc.) in these pictures. The cuddy, which I would probably want to remove, hardly seems correctly engineered to give the hull the rigidity it would need.

Thoughts on whether this Alumacraft could be rehabbed.

Looks like a Queen Merrie or a King Fisherman hull from the late 50's or early sixties. 18 feet long, built like a tank.

Research confirms an 18' Queen Merrie hull with the windshield and seats yanked for the unorthodox cuddy. I'm thinking of buying it, leaving the cuddy with the owner and mounting a center console.
