Top Tenner, Invader, TideCraft, ArrowGlass, Infinity.
A lot of these old boats are still fishing today.. My brother and I restored a old 1976 Tidecraft w/ 135 rude from the hull up, very stable fishing platforms for the time period, and fishes good even today.

Fished out of a Eldocraft when I was a kid. It was the cats hiney back in the day. Had a friend that owned a Dynatrak with a Merc 150. That baby would run well over 70 by police radar. The dealer said it was the fastest boat he had ever rigged out with a 150, and didn't know why. What about RAYCRAFT? always heard it was the tank of bass boats. They built them in San Augustine and Toldeo was loaded with them.

Drive around some of the old subdivisions on Toledo Bend and you can probably see everything mentioned above and probably others.
There are also a few washed up on the bank scattered over the lake. No telling how many are on the bottom.
