ok, I ended up buying this boat. Interestingly, the boat is titled as a 1968 19' Homemade. It was completely rebuilt in 2012-4 by a boat yard in Miami. stoner boat works I believe. the title also states that it is an inboard, which is what the seller also indicated. Since this was the transition year between Moesley and Potter, is there a way to tell a 19' from a 20". I can't find the HIN, so it may have been lost in the rebuild. Its not on the title either, just the tag #.

looks like they used Coosa or some similar material for the deck. I much prefer the console on this boat. the quality of the rebuild is so-so, certainly nothing along the lines of R&R or others, but acceptable for a fishing boat. Engine seems to be solid, even though it is a 2004 150 Evinrude Ficht.

Anyone know anything about the history of this boat and whether it is a 19 or 20?

By the pics you provided safe bet it was originally a 19 Bow Rider.
The bow flair is the first indicator and second being an I/O at birth.

Terry England converted a bow rider with good results..

So, does that make it a Moesley or a Potter? Not that it makes much difference.
