Identify this boat

I would like to identify this boat. Pictures are dirty as the boat has just been pulled out of a barn after 20+ years of storage.
Wood and fiberglass and the motor is a 9.2[/im

Yes, I purchased it but don’t know if I will keep the boot and trailer. I will try to post a couple more pictures to help identify it.

Is it purchased or maybe Homemade?

Any one ever see a boat like this?….Is there a better place to post this?

Looks really old, early to mid-1950’s. Maybe a Beetle/Marscot or other very early fiberglass boat-builder.

Elgin was sold by Sears. The boat could also have an Elgin tag. Wagemaker boats were one of several that were tagged Elgin for Sears. Brian Fogerty might be able to tell you more. Cool boat!

Looks home built, late 40’s by looking at the steering wheel and windscreen fittings. Is it fiberglass covered planks, plywood or a solid fiberglass hull. Plywood made boats were being designed in the late 40 early 50’s.

Thanks so much for the response. It is plywood and fiberglass and to me it looks to be a fiberglass hull.

It is very dirty but I wanted to take pictures before I touched it. Has been setting in the dry all the years.

I have thought about taking it to the North Webster Meet if there would be any interest in it. Feel free to pm me.

I am going to keep the motor.
