[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 417960, member: 15636"] With that 'tumblehome' feature to the stern, I too would say it is a Sears skiff. The round holes in the stern corner plates and arc feature to bow plare look identical too. I found it to be 'lightly' built for a tin boat of their size and if recall correctly, they are only rated to 8hp. I have the factory specs sheet from the early 70s somewhere ... The one I had was a tippy canoe! Pond/lake boats only IMHO. I replaced it with a late 80s Starcraft 12' tin and the difference is night and day! My new one being 50-60-pounds heavier, beamier, taller gunnels, stronger construction and a significantly more stable V-hull. [/QUOTE]
