Picked up a teak boat frame that I know nothing about, was hoping for any info about what era this boat might’ve fit into, how much this frame might be worth as is, or really just anything helpful. I picked it up on a whim because it was a good deal(I think). I found one similar picture online but it’s a stock photo with no info.  Thanks for anything

My guess it was from the 80's. Somebody got a plan set and got as fas as you see. Going to be tough to finish without plans of some sort. The inset transom is unique.

What's it worth? What did you pay for it? Id say exactly that.

Going to be hard to pass that on without plans. Someone might want it for the teak for another project.

What's the bow to transom length? Looks like 12-14'.

That clipart shot looks like a Giesler - I was at their factory just a couple of weeks ago. They're built in a different order - they don't start with the frame and work out, they do the hull first.

I'd grab a tarp or a roll of kraft paper and wrap it around the hull to see what it would look like. If you like the look, then you get to buy a bunch of strips of cedar and learn the art of steaming.

Been a boat guy since 1977.

Sold my last one about 2 months ago. First time in 41 years I don't own a boat.
