    Hi everyone. I’ve posted once before, all of the wooden boats that came along with our home purchase and thankfully ID’ed all of the boats except this one, which I didn’t post! We were told it was a Beetle Cat by the executor of the estate, but it’s 15 feet so that makes it too big. Any help or ideas would be really helpful and appreciated! Obviously you see it was registered at one point but we can’t make out the numbers. Every single boat on the property did not have any visible hull number any where. This one included and we did check the stern post. 67C641D6-94A1-4765-B647-B28E8E6792F6.jpeg C2D8B238-F5CB-41BD-9CA5-F10F02099F03.jpeg 221A34A0-871D-45D5-9A8B-55B2B0277C5E.jpeg 042D4138-7BBE-4DE2-844A-951C0A5BB47F.jpeg A06FC190-3FC4-45DF-ACFE-BE9587175BA6.jpeg

    Since 2006 there's officially an 14' 4" Beetle Cat, the Beetle 14, maybe someone built yours as an own early version . . ?

    Boats are often measure on the waterline, not the deck.

    Well we found the real Beetle Cat on the property so we were sort of ruling that out. Kind of leaning toward perhaps this was a boat someone built themselves!
