| Post subject: | Need help identifying this hull | ||
I have tried a couple different forums to identify this hull ,so far no luck. I am sure it was made in Ontario I have seen one other . Thought it was a Humber Jewel but this has a three point hull not a v bottom. It is 13ft long and 61/2ft wide. I think this hull came from around Huntsville. Any help would be great. In the process of rebuilding and trying to figure how big a motor to put on it.

Must be a Humber Jewel unless it's a flip. Kid down the street from me has one with a 60 Merc, looks the same. Every one I ever saw (back in the day) had a 35 - 40 Hp Johnny. |

It's a flip of a Humber jewel...with a point added to the bow and some smoothing. The jewel wasn't a vee bottom either...it has a flat area with two strakes on either side. Take a picture of the "pad" area of the hull. |

The back of this one has been modified to have a V at the back. Was a flat bottom , you can see where the transom was cut down when they added the v . Sent pictures to Humber Boat Company and they told me it is not a Jewel. I have changed the transom to take a long shaft engine , 60 to 75 evinrude.

Oh shit...no that's not even a copy of a jewel...definitely unique. I haven't seen anything like that before. It'll be cool with a little Stinger or something |

That is like no other hull I have ever seen!!?? The guy that designed it may have had suffered from some prolonged styrene exposure!!??  Great job refinishing it! It will be interesting to hear how it runs! ... its cool to have something that nobody else has.
