It will only let me upload one photo.
In the early 70s there were kits sold that look a lot like this boat. Our explorer scout troop made some, if I remember right they were built with fabric on a wood frame and then fiberglassed. I think the kits were advertised in Field and Stream and Outdoor Life, Boy’s Life etc.

Probably an old kit boat. Just stored inside so it stayed in better shape.
This looks like a kayak that my dad and I made from plans that we got from Popular Mechanics back in the sixties. You could make it a single or double. The skin was called ‘airplane cloth’ which sure looked like fiberglass.
You have a rare Erford Burt fiberglass kayak, hand laid up in the mid 1960s at his boatyard in Vineyard Haven, Mass. Mr. Burt was a masterful designer and craftsman. At one time those kayaks were fairly common around Marthas Vineyard, but not so much anymore.
