John - Welcome to BRF! I would guess you little speedster is a home built unit built sometime during the 1950's maybe early 60's. Nice looking lake racer. Anyone else have any ideas as to the make?

Looks like a Popular Mechanix type magazine plan boat. Pretty well executed, but probably not a competitive racer, more the "cottage racer" style

The dash/cowl is the give away

A perfect boat for the KD3!
