Hi all,
i found this BW for sale, but I can't find any picture with the same equipment, do you think it is an old or limited version or is customized?

That is a classic Sakonnet made from 1971 to 1975 that has its windshield modified by having the side lites reversed to it slopes backwards instead of forward; an unfortunate modification.
A simple wooden bench has been added to the stern though it is not an Eastport stern seat, and swim steps have been added to a hull that has no backing for the installation of them.
Th motor is mounted 3/4" to 1-1/2" too low on the transom and it is overpowered by 15 HP.
Still, it looks like a nice boat and the unfortunate modifications could be corrected.

Wow, nothing like putting some weight on those steps and ripping the transom apart. Only foam under there.
