Merged both of your posts together, hard to say what happened. But now your question is there.

I just purchased a 74 Montgomery Wards and from everything I found out they were actually a Star Craft boat. You can search Star craft and see their early brochures I believe between 63-67 there abouts but there is one model that looks exactly like mine. I'm not 100% but I am pretty sure. Hope this helps.

I know Sea Nymph made some off brand boats but they may have been for Sears but could have been Monkeywards too.

Check these links and not only verify based on photos but also measure your boats beam, depth, transom etc and them match it up and see if it meets any of these.

I'm pretty sure it was STARCRAFT boats under the name SEA KING. The few photos I've seen appear to closely resemble my boat. I found a Montgomery Wards catalog from 1967 on eBay and the guy who is selling it is helping me identify the boat. If it's listed I'll upload all the info for others to use as well. Thanks for everyone's help and if you might have this or another Sea King post your photos to help us all in ID'ing these critters.
