I would like to know what boat this is, think it is from the 1970's

Can you post more pictures?
Include the HIN on the corner of the transom.

 

Thank you for relying.
No HIN number available. I will try to get more pictures.
The owner says he thinks it is a Bonson Wahler.
It has a full fiberglass hull, about 16 Feet long.

 

You're welcome.

If there's no HI Number then it may be a home build.
I doubt that going by its appearance.
The HIN may present if you carefully remove overcoats that have been applied.

From where did the previous owner acquire it?

 

Depending on where the boat was built, it may not have a HIN

 

The Boat has been sitting there for over 40 years.
I do not think it is a home build. In Aruba mostly all is imported.
I'll try to get more pictures. The boat and trailer are in a deplorable state. Would be great to fix them up though.

 

With the fake lapstrake and bow cockpit it is not a Boston Whaler or similiar (like a Glastron or Bayliner) as those two things are not generally seen together as common design elements. It looks most like a Penn Yan which makes me think NE US/Canada or UK-EU manufacture.

 

Some more pictures I was able to make that might be helpful, there is even a cactus growing inside the boat.

Might be related to this company ?

1960 Aqua King center console. Log into Facebook https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/870958191659213/ If you look at the photos on the link it has the same Aqua King brand on the side near the transom as your boat. I did aa search of the Coast Guard data base. No Aqua King. So it was before 1972. But lots of pics of old Aqua Kings by searching images.

 

The hull is the same, must be this manufacturer. Not a center console but otherwise very similar. Would love to find more information so will keep looking on the internet.
Thanks for alle the reactions and help, appreciated.
