Looks like the old Sea King I used to own. Had to bale it out every 30 min. or so. If it's riveted, instead of welded, be sure to have a coffee can on board.

I don't have a clue what brand it is but my uncle gave me one with a 40 hp McCullough engine almost identical in 74'....cypress twigs work well when the waters rough and you are popping rivets...I was in rough water making a run back to the ramp and had probably 12 water fountains in the bottom...pulled to the shore...cut cypress twigs and pounded them in...leaks stopped...when I put the boat on the trailer the bottom looked like a porcupine...

Looks like the Sea King in my garage on a harbor freight home-built trailer just like mine :-)

Don't think it is a Lone Star, they had separate angle braces going down to the seats. We would clip our stringers of bass to the brace when fishing at El Novillio Mexico before we took 1 Monark aluminum & 2 King Fisher aluminum bass boats down their.

+1 I had 1 that looked exactly like that. Does it have a drain plug in the floor at the back of the boat? Mine handled choppy water nicely. If you get a leaky rivet just rebuck it.

It does not have a drain plug, but I'm about to have one installed so I don't have to siphon water after each rain storm!
