Sneakbox identity ?

[Josh Schwenger]

My friend gave me this the other day. I'm not sure if it's just water logged but it is very very heavy. Is it possible it's not made from cedar? Seems like it has a lot of mahogany but I can't tell with the glass on it. Anyway does anyone know what type of box this is or maybe who the maker is?

Looks like a Sammy Hunt

If indeed it is a Sam Hunt is this something someone would want? I do not care about monetary value just if I should save it or deposit it in the land fill. I have no interest in this project it appears to be a cedar box.

Can you take a few photos inside? Also the transom details if they can be seen through the glass? It looks rather high crowned for a Sam Hunt to me. Is there any evidence of a dagger trunk?

I will try this afternoon for pictures but no dagger board seems to be built to be powered. Fasters are flat head brass

It's not a Sammy Hunt his boats had hard chines

Josh, how much do you estimate it weighs? What other sneakboxes would you compare it against weightwise?

 

[Josh Schwenger]

I guess about 200 lbs. I have had one other cedar box still don't know what that was. That was at least 50 lbs less. It's possible the other box was a vansant. This one is available if anyone is interested. I don't see myself in this boat.
