This is my 1955 Wagemaker boat named Brian's Weigh owned by Brian Fogarty below

Bought it in Rochester indiana, the owner said it might be a class b runabout. It's light but really solid. Was very quick. This is a mid 50's 12 foot wolverine I had when I was a kid, still have it but needs resto. Two cockpits, rear steering. We skied behind constantly, great boat. This picture was taken around 1975.
