Anyone know anything about this boat?

View attachment fullsizeoutput_1fbc.jpegAnyone have any information on this boat? It is fiberglass and 14ft long x 5ft wide x 21 inches deep. Trying to decide whether it is worth taking on as a project. Any information help appreciated. A friend of mine said it had a bit of "Alton Wallace" bow he thought. It looks like a duck boat to me but it might be something else. Owner said it came out of New England but has no other information.

That looks like it would be a great boat with long dodger lots of room for deeks and a dog .. I LIKE IT! Do you know what size motor you can put on it and how stable it is?

I don't know how stable. I was surprised at how thin the fiberglass is on the boat but I am sure it is strong. A buddy has a 1959 Fabuglas boat and he said it reminds him of that vintage. I would think a 15-25hp motor but likely need a 2-Stroke as 4-Stroke probably to heavy. I would strengthen the transom for certain. The owner thinks he may have some printed sheets about it and is going to look. I had been pondering an Estuary or 13 TDB but I am going to give it some thought.
