aquamaniac: "The boat looks more like a Pla-Mate to me".
I still believe it is the 14 foot PLA-BOY. The bottom has the 6 or 7 lift stacks, starting in front and ending about 80% back on the boat. The back is almost flat. Vary interesting to me because in my quest for speed, I love the deep V haul of my old Glastron but was considering (padding) increasing the flat area on the back of the boat. With my deep V bottom I have reached my speed limit, if I am too far out of the water standing on the prop it is a wild ride. The haul Carlson built two years after my boat combine the Glastron famous lift stakes and a falter area on the back, and all are stable at about 20 mph faster than my boat.
Other brochures I have found also describe the PLA-BOY as the Larson as the model with the split walk thru fount and back facing seat. Larson barges that this large seat molded in to the top half of the boat, and then attacked to the floor gave the boat strength. It is strange seating the frount has a full width bench, than the high molded in step-threw, the driver and passenger would have the high molded back rest, a thread person could sit up front facing the front or back. That full front bench provides allot of storage, then the walk thru so two molded in back facing seats. And then a full bench in the back of the boat, more storage. No problem storing things. I am thinking one ski locker and one gas/battery box maybe even a built-in ice chest and speakers every ware. Agreed the deck hardware is out of position for any brochures I can find. But I plan to make some changes also, rather than look for that big tall flat windshield, I am thinking of glassing on a wind deflector. It is a tall boat and will never be as sexy as my low Glastron. The Glastron looks fast sitting still. A wind deflector would give the boat a sleeker ski boat look. I don?t need no stinking wind shield.
