Anything goes, as long as it falls under the general forum protocol and rules.

Mystery boat?!?!?!?

Post by Challenger949L »

I was just wondering what kind of boat this is?

It sure does look clunky, yech. Not sure what design it is?

Being Canadian and not directly effected by the terrible storms in the states
I often why boats like these (and much better) ones are going so cheap? Even with the exchange:)

I tried and tried, but I couldn't make the boat into anything I recognize. Some of the hull shape cues were vaguely familiar, but nothing was clicking.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that boat was in my marina. Those, uh, gunwales, liferails, backrest things make an impression. Even if the rest of the boat fails to.

I haven't found that. To my mind, the storm boats are far too expensive given the damage.

Looking at your address, I will have to take your word for it!!!!

Mostly scottish decentants in this area, a boat could sink 5 times and get run over by a tank and they would only drop the price 3%

Thank You
