Old boat identification help

[Johnny000789]

I just bought what looks to be an old 1950's/1960's 14 foot fiberglass boat for cheap. Im in the process of trying to register it here in California but have no idea of the manufacturer or make and model let alone the year. i have zero experience or knowledge when it comes to boats so any help would be much appreciated please

(site wont allow me to post photo attachments even though i have made 4 posts already)

Avoid using 3rd party sites, like Photobucket.

No Title

Should be distinctive enough for someone to ID, but I cant. Mid to late 50s thru early 60s based on the fins.

Dig in and start looking, it may be listed here:

Good luck

The aluminum plate across the back is not original. Likely added as a bandaid on a soft transom or to 'allow' using an overpower rating outboard. Should be removed.

What kind of paperwork did you get when you bought it?

Never mind - you posted as I was writing.

You may have a hard time.

without paperwork it may be a wall-art decoration or a yard planter

Neat little runabout.
