What kind of boat is this?

Hi

Just wondering if anyone know what kind of boat this is? There are no ID plates anywhere. It has what i think is a 1959 Mercury on it. Any info would be great.

I've seen those before on these fourms. Can't recall the brand, but the hull to cap seam is quite distinctive. Check with fiberglassics.com they have a list of manufacturers and brochures that you can go through. Also post these pics on their forum and you should get an answer.

It could possibly be a sixties or early seventies model dixie, they and the mfgs were very simliar. Looks like it would be a great restoration project. Does the engine run?

The engine runs good and the trailer is in great shape. I picked it all up for $300 from a guy. I think i may do a restore on this one and that why i would like to know what it is.

I gotta go with DBlittle, if you compare the photo's side by side they are almost identical. Yeah a year or two difference in would explain the transom but the sides seem to be a giveaway. Anyway, you'll turn a lot of heads when your running that little jewel.

Good luck on your project and safe boating
