    Welcome to the forum Radsky.

    And congratulations on your new purchase - that boat is just so cool!
    And she looks quite immaculate as well.
    My first thought was a maritime version of Thunderbirds :)
    Have you tried to operate the engine? It looks like it is a fair bit newer than 1958 - can you find any serial number on it?
    And if the engine is working, have you taken the boat for a trial run?

    Thanks Bajansailer
    I cannot find any serial numbers on the transom or behind the dash. The motor is a 2002 yamaha high thrust 100 hp. I have taken it out a few times without any issues with the motor. It rides well in calm waters. The hull seems sound but I will inspect it in the next few weeks. The previous owner had a pic of another near vancouver that is now destroyed. i’ll attach this pic.

    Can we see a shot of the transom? Is it a cathedral hull or inverted vee.
