Help identify 1950s aluminum boat?

[authaus]

Can anyone help me identify this boat? It's 11' 6" and doesn't seem to have any markings. I looked through all the aluminum boats at theclassicboathouse.com with no luck. Thanks!

The knees look like Starcraft and the older SCs did not have lapstrake hulls. Waiting to see what others think.

I think you might be right! Other than slight differences in the transom bracing and bow casting, it looks awfully close to the 12' Speedster in this 1958 Starcraft brochure:
