Hi, It sounds like you've got the Billings Progress trawler. There is a you tube video of of one. search Billings boat progress to check.
 Model boats magazine did some build articles on this in the 1960s which I still have somewhere.
 If this is the correct one I can find and scan them for you if that will help.

Hi again, glad we got it right. I'll look for the old articles tomorrow  and scan them asap. The Progress was a nice boat to sail as I remember.

Hello again Rick, I've found the old articles, and scanned them so I can send them to you via email.
 I've also sent you a PM message, if you use the same system to send me your email address I wil send on the scans.
 Regards, Charles

Hi Rick, I've sent the scans to you via pm, I hope they help

chas - - would you send me the files as well?  I just bought one at a yard sale today.  I'm told it's 50-60 years old and it's a Progress E750.  It has some damage to the stern rigging I need to repair and photos or plans would help tremendously.  Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi David, yes I'll be happy to send them on to you, it will take a day or two, just changing my pc over to windows 10.
 PM sent.

[DavidS]

Many thanks!

Hi David, you should have the scans.

Thanks.  Between that and some frames I grabbed off the youtube video, I should be able to figure the rigging out.

Found this elsewhere on this site  [http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=14995.0]
It's the Progress E750.  Different color scheme than mine but everything else is the same.
