Help identifying boat

New to the club. Just picked up this boat. I was told is was a 1947 Chris Craft but unsure of the model. Unable to locate hull ID numbers. 16' 3" LOA. I think it's a deluxe runabout but not certain. Other similar boats only show single exhaust port but this one has dual exhaust. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks pre-war to me. Look around the engine opening or on the engine hatch. Engine stringers too. Engine could have been changed or could have been a ford flathead V-8, Rare but some had it.

Thanks for the response Jim. I'll check the stringers and engine opening more closely. Unfortunately, the engine hatch cover did not come with the boat.
