Help me identify this 1969 vhull

Hi guys

i have looked high and low for information on this boat

I have the title, yes, i know, that's amazing in itself

The title simply says boat MFG Is Reso, Model year 1969 , length 14', material aluminum

The reason i would like to know more it to hopefully find photos of refurbished boat(s) same as mine to restore it.

if i have this in wrong group, please let me know

Thanks in advance

This looks pretty close.. do a close comparison of how the back corner caps are constructed.

that does look very similar. however, the drain plug on his is in the typical back center spot. mine is actually on the floor board. haven't ever seen it there before. would make it draining very quick.

The objective is to prove that it's an Arkansas traveler. Different years and models could have very different characteristics.. but if the rear corner caps are near identical you can be sure yours is an AT.

Here are some brochures for earlier years. Not sure if this will help

The at that I have seen have a unique rib. Not sure if they change it or what year they quit manufacturing.

I just noticed that this web site has lots of older manufacturers boats. It might be a good reference site.

I'm guessing the Reso you mentioned is short for Resorter which appears to have had connection with Ark Trav.

Almost certainly an Arkansas Traveler. The hull shares the same lines as my 1956 traveler. Bow cap is slightly different as are the rear hull corners, but the transom shape and overall hull shape are nearly identical to mine.
