I have a guy wanting to do some trading and this is what I will end up with. I was wanting to know what it is and if its worth messing with. Its a 14ft I know and he said he thought it was 4ft wide. No trailer but I have one that I can use.

I don't know what brand it is, but I'm sure there is someone on the site who can help identify it. Any hull# ID plates on it anywhere?

Does it have any hull problems (loose rivets, etc)?
 
I havent seen it in person yet. Its about an hour away. When I go I will look it over real good and thats when we will work out our trade. I am waiting to hear back from him.
 
That's a vintage mod'd tin boat; if I ain't ever saw one! :lol:

A piece of mod'd history! :eek:

This looks like a old Larson ('54-'58)- They were initially sold as runabouts, but for a small price they sold a conversion kit which consisted of seats (bench), aluminum gunnels, and nose cover. The great thing about these old runners is the thickness of the aluminum used (their built like tanks!), and you can usually put a 20-25 hp engine on with no issues (but I would make certain the transom is solid prior to this).

I had a '57 that I converted to a bass boat (picked up on a farm for free, converted, and sold for $1700.00!)

Looks like this would be a great project boat!
 
Well I talked to the guy last night and he sold it already. So looks like that ones outa the question. Thanks guys.
