So this is my new project. with help from others on this forum i found out that it's a 1978 Buccaneer, model?. I have a 50hp merc. to put on it. my plan is to restore it, problem is i don't have any reference pictures to compare to. everything that i have seen is for "the deck boat" brands, which they do look almost identical. so my question is are they basically built the same as a "deck Boat" or is there big differences? can anyone tell me what model this is? and the trailer is in rough shape the tongue dips down a little, the bottom of the boat is about a quarter inch from the metal tongue. there isn't very many rollers or supports underneath it.

Basically you can build it back however you want .. Do whatever modifications to the trailer that’s needed . Add rollers or bunks to support it . Or find a bigger trailer that fits it better...
Cool old deck boat though !
Whats up with the old runabout that’s sitting next to it ?
