Is it not listed on the registration? Looks like it was registered in texas. might be able to have wildlife run the registration numbers and the manufacturer might be in the description.
Look on the transom for a registration number, or maybe inside engraved on a plate. The first three letters is the manufacturers "stamp", or I.D. if you will. It's a start..
Pretty cool, especially for free!
Pay no attention to the guy in the dinghy, he's just jealous.
It looks kind of like the Mariner 19': http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=41
O'Day and Rhodes made very similar boats.
How long is the hull?

Look to the right of the rudder and just under the deck joint and usually the identy info is there. Post it here and somebody will be able to help. Good luck.

It looks very British to me. It is probably too old to have an HIN (pre-1971). I would do some research into Westwind, Westerly, and some other English manufacturers.
Some states maintain records of old reg numbers. Get in contact with Texas and see what they had it registered as.
It is possible that some part will have a label or give you a clue; so keep looking it over!
