    l_boyle ol' can of sardines

    It looked so much like a homemade job.. Hard telling who made it.. Since many of those are made from wood. Glen-L sites have many plans on run-a-bouts, speedboats in that size ranges, but mostly fiberglass over wood construction. Here a link to give you an idea http://www.boatdesigns.com/departments.asp?dept=10
    Those pictures that you have here show it is rare find that you got. It is differcult to tell who designed that boat also..

    i,m going to post more pics , but i think this is not a homemade boat , the ribbing on the bottom is way to hard to make you self , i hope it would be rare thats why i bought it . i cannot find any tags on this thing as the previous owner i bought it from was restoreing it. and the young man i bought it from was using it as a fishing boat and painted it with a brush!!!!

    I was just about to say that the paintjob looks like cr4p, but I didn't want to insult you!
