I’m hoping to find out if anyone has any information about these boats. I’m trying to help an old family friend sell but he doesn’t recall much about it and I can’t find any manufacturer tag on it. It was purchased about 5 yrs ago in the greater Victoria area. Any information anyone could pass along would be greatly appreciated.
What boat is this?

Yeah, looks like a Skookum to me. That's what came to mind when I saw the pics

Most of the small Skookum's that I see around over the years have been lapstrake style fiberglass, but they did make one similarly looking to the pictures above, but the top bow section look a lot different. It was called the Skookum Salty. I have attached an image.
There was also a boat called the Davidson Chugger, but it too looked different if I remember correctly.
Even doing AI searches with the provided photo's above do not share the exact looking boats. There was a close style in the UK.

Not much in the way of electronics available to find fish in those days

No I remember all your were given was like a brochure/tub. No VHF. There wasn't much for safety equipment. Just some old school life jackets. It was something like 15 pulls at Bamberton beach. Troll to cement plant and circle back. No downriggers etc.
The steering was horrible and those motors stalled out and broke down often.
