Year and name of my 25 footer??

Post by gemgemine » Sat Apr 05, 2014 1:36 pm

My plywood C-C boat is set up with a head, cook stove, icebox and eating area and will sleep 4 or more. The engine is a 350 GMC, 4 bolt main, high performance, truck engine, according to the numbers on the block!! Steering is on the main deck and it's beam is 9 feet. All the wood is good no rot to see.

Can you tell me the year range that this plywood boat would have been made and where I can find ID markings. The previous owner had disassembled portions of the boat to refinish the wood so I haven't been able to find the ID numbers. Everthing looks original in appearance and I feel the motor is the engine that came with the boat. The valve covers say Erickson on them.

Check the engine stringers or the edges of the hatches for a hull# stamped on them, and yeah post pics. Probably a Cavalier.
Boats are to be made of wood, otherwise, God would have grown fiberglass trees.
