    Welcome.

    You know nothing? Did it just appear in your driveway? Or did you steal it?
    You know what the rest of the boat looks like.
    You know much more than you may realize.
    It is us who know nothing... accept what one picture shows us.
    Come on, make an effort, tell us more.
    ( And show us more too. )

    Hi. I posted about 10 photos. And a pic of the reg. I did insurnace for a client of mine and he gave me it. Said it was a 76 Chris craft but I don’t believe it is.

    It's all good.

    I have no idea. Have you tried a Chris Craft or Kainer forum?

    Kainer is/was a manufacturer of parts for boats, particularly steering wheels. This does not look anything like any Chris Craft I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of Chris Crafts. My colleague that I worked with for many years was a Naval Architect for Chris Craft. He talked about them a lot and he had a lot of books about Chris Craft. Anyway, it looks more like a home built to me, but then maybe that's just years of wear and tear, and poor repairs. If you could give us some dimensions, length over all, maximum beam, transom width, maybe we can find something that fits.

    Perhaps it is a kit boat.
