[QUOTE="Dodgeboy49, post: 503574, member: 34484"] I think I found my answer! I was staring hard at the side of the boat (got to give the neighbors something to wonder about) and saw the very faintest suggestion of a logo on the side. After marking out what I thought I saw with a lousy marker, I did some exploring online and found that the Valco logo matches this outline. Next I looked up 12-footer Valco boats and didn't find any that looked exactly like mine, but I did find some that had similarly ribbed sides, but a deeper freeboard. I'm guessing that those were the rough-water version and mine is the calm-water type. The similar boats were described as 1960's models, so I'm guessing that mine is roughly in that timeframe as well. [ATTACH type="full"]116541[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
