New member trying to ID a boat that I found on Craig's List. It has been hanging in a barn literally for 25yrs. No paper work, no nothin. I am hoping to tap into the solve a mystery crowd here. Here are five photos to start, there are some more if needed. there is no HIN's but I am checking with the DOL on the WN registration numbers.
Thanks, Steve

The center cap on the wheel is from Kaminc which I know makes other components. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
