[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 448258, member: 19781"] I tried but could not locate anything. Some of those early 1950's boats were very much "designs in process". They didn't really know how to build a boat from aluminum yet... by the mid 50's they had it pretty well figured out... But a lot of the features on the those early boats were used once and never used again..... Some are more like cattle troughs than boats, but yours has pretty sleek lines by comparison. The very thin gunnels and huge seat brackets are very unusual and somebody might recognize them..... Are you sure it's all aluminum ? they even sold steel boats back then.... see if a magnet sticks to it... [/QUOTE]
