Ed,
I saw that before... It is not original.....
I can't believe someone like that says it is a rare model...
Jeesh, I have rare things in my yard that don't smell so good...... :)
Not a bad custom job, but NOT original.....
Whatever Floats Your Boat.....

Thanks Joe I didn't think so but like you said great custom job
Any chance you read my post titled "bow cushion dauntless to sport"
Any help on that subject or the hull identification mess in my last post would be appreciated
Thanks
Ed

The drunken paint line on the transom is a bit of a turn off. I like the setup, though the craftsmanship looks a little do-it-yourself. The roller drawers are a good idea, but I wonder about latches, and the slides are probably mild steel. Interesting boat, and at two grand, not a bad buy if the boat were to
weigh in OK. Stuff can be fixed.

It reminds me of the whaler model with the fiberglass insert. My neighbor has one down the shore.

I am fairly sure the Super Sporty models were not released until the mid 80,s. The super sport only had a single console and much different config on the bench seat in front of the console. The Limited (like mine) had a dual fiberglass consoles. Looks to be a decent job though. Anyone notice the norman pins at the stern of the boat...B)

i just have to throw in a comment on the trailer. how steep of a ramp do you have to have to launch that sucker? it is sitting really high on the trailer. not to mention the dual axle feature!
i am with Joe; whatever floats your boat!

As short as that trailer tongue looks, the rear end of my truck would be in the water before the hull of the 13' would even be touching the water....lol. That is one monster trailer.......I think it's heavier that the Whaler it's hauling....jeez.
