Says it's a ouchita steel hull? Look at the steel add-ons, too. Maybe a one-time commercial use boat, converted?

the motor is about worth the price, though.

Looks kinda like a handicap boat with all the hand/grab rails... my Mom and Dad would like that boat.

The hull is almost certainly aluminum. Those old Ouachitas were built like tanks with foam on both sides, hence the thick gunwales. My buddy has one that size with a 25 horse Merc and it is an unbelievably tough and stable john boat. One of these days I'm gonna fight him for it.

Old people owned it. Look like grab rails for someone who can't walk very well and there is an electric winch on the trailer, which you hardly ever see on a boat that small.

Note that the electric winch also has it's own battery box, which is not how they are usually rigged. This boat being so hevy , might use one, especially around here, where some like to keep the axle dry.
