11ft 5in bow to stern, and 4ft 4in wide, it is a Peshtigo, WI production.
can not find the number on the transome. We have pictures of the boat from the 1940s if that helps any.

She looks like the TVT Super DeLuxe Runabout. This came in 12, 14, and 16 foot lengths (gunwale length).

The planking above the spray rail is Philippine mahogany and below the spray rail she is western red cedar. The spray rail may be white oak. Ribs are white oak. Deck planking is Philippine mahogany. Transom is Philippine mahogany.

You can purchase the Thompson Boat et.al. brochures on a CD-ROM at www.dragonflycanoe.com and www.wcha.org
