What have we got here?
« on: August 12, 2010, 09:35:19 PM »
Amy's brother in-law picked this boat up and they sent me this picture and asked if I knew what it is, it's been a little modified and the nameplate and etc are missing.  I'm guessing 70' or 71' they said it's a try-hull...

Looks like a closed bow, V hull.
Good call Rich.

It's actually a closed bow tri-hull, only produced in 1968 & 1969 in this design.

Didn't realize they made tri-hulls w/nose that resembles a v-hull.

I know, weird.  He's going to fix it and sell it so he wanted to know exactly what he had.

The '69-'73 V145 Fireflite (GT140 in '72) was also closed-bow and Aqualift II tri-hull.
