This boat is the only "manufactured" HULL Stamped Dixie-Craft Boat known to exist in the World to date.

Questions
Hello, I've been trying to identify my wood boat. The construction looks an awful lot like you're Dixie craft. Three planks of mahogany sides with curled nails fastened to strips of wood on the inside, looks like it had an outboard motor and someone modified it with a Ford flathead. The curved transom was filled in with mahogany. I can't find any ID on the boat. I could really use some help to identify my boat. Looks to be pretty primitive. Any help would be appreciated
Is this boat still for sale? I'm interested in it for my husband.
