Is a 16' long, 48" wide at the floor and around 6' at the top. I got it without a motor and found a 71 johnson 40 horse tiller conversion to use on it. All the wood is original, no idea of the year as it was titled as a home built in 89. I suspect its a 70's model, the seller told me it was a smoker craft but I have no way to verify. What I have done so far is to strip it to the hull, I had a welder fix a couple cracked ribs too. There was no foam in the boat except in the covered bow. I have bought and fit foam inside the ribs, to support the floor I cut 2x3's to run lengthwise and will fit more foam between them. I may foam up the sides and cover with carpeted paneling.</p></blockquote><p></p>
