without a title, you may have the yard planter model.

it should have a hull ID # of sorts on it.. if you dont have a clue on the make, you can probably pick the make... ie- on titling forms... doubt the titling agency in your states is going to have a clue as so many different manufacturers.. you generally fill that part in.... as long at you have the right ID # your probably good.... call it " NWBASSFISHIN":eek:

It a Valco, as posted in the OPs original post, and likely doesnt have a HIN as its probably pre-1972

You can look around a little bit HERE. I'm guessing from the SN that it's older than the 70s so it probably doesn't have a HIN.

Welcome aboard.

The floatation boxes and seat frames are missing. I would be replacing those as they are the structure that holds the gunwales together as well as the floatation for when the boat turtles.
