Hello Dave,

You should find the model #1811 stamped into the transom knee or on the usal Peterborough brass plate (this is a Peterborough craft).
Attached below please find the specs for the 1952 model.

I was going to say that it sounds like an Autoboat, but Dick beat me to it.

I've worked on a few, its a nice little boat.

Gone fishin'

It got wet today for the 1 st. time in over 30 years . The grandsons even caught some rainbows . Leaked a bit but we found an old soup can that worked just great as a bailer .
