Glad to see what the date was on that plate. When we dove it, I was trying to read it, but there was a screw in the number, and the batteries in my light needed to be replaced. It was also tough determining what the make of the boat was. Again, perhaps with a better light, it could've been seen. The seats were entirely gone, so I am guessing leather. Otherwise, the boat is remarkably intact. Even the canvas awning remains wrapped around its frame. I forgot to look for an ignition key, but left a smiley face in the algae on the windshield. The chromed gas cap on the transom screwed right off and back on like it was brand new. There were a few salmon lures snagged on the lines extending up from the bow & transom.
There were also two very large cusk living in the wreck. They really didn't seem to mind our presence.
There was also a name plate on the transom, but no legible markings remain.
