Looking at purchasing this boat but trying to figure out the model. The seller doesn't know I have never seen bench seats like this anything I should worry about? It kind of looks like the pipes bolt through the sides of the hull for them and maybe they lift out? There either never was an info plate or it was lost when the wood was replaced.

Hopefully the pics work this time.

Did that, just has the make and length not model or any other info. Looked at 2 other boats today 1 on water and was quite tippy wonder if this one would be the same hard to tell from the pics how rounded the hull is.
 
Crestliner is probably up in my favorite 10% range and I have
never seen anything like that one.
But, when it comes to old boats, there is no telling what previous
owners have done to them.
Do the pipe seats "appear" to be factory issue ?
They may have been salvaged from another boat as the original seats
in older Crestliners were just plywood. So that boat may be a "Frankenliner".

If it comes with a title, there is no way I would let the absence of
the model number deter the purchase if it is within your budget.

I was wondering the same myself, I ended up passing on it. I got in another boat that looked kinda similar and it was to tippy for my liking, to round of a bottom. I am used to a deep v now that I can practically kneel on on side and not have it tip much. Think I am going to wait for a wide jon or build my own jon "not a lot of jon boats up here in northern MN especialy not wide ones"

Just got a "new" old boat. I think it's a 16' Lone Star, but nothing really matches up.
