What kind of Fiberform is this?

[Vinnieuscg]

Looking to purchase this boat, all I can find out is that it's (supposedly) a 1966 Fiberform. Any ideas on what model specifically? My main concern is the weight and whether or not my truck (Ford Ranger) can haul it. Here is a pic, any info you have would be much appreciated.

The boat in the picture is almost identical to mine! .. almost.. Mine doesn't have the cabin, only the lower windshield. Other than that, the hull is identical.They are the same model year (1966) As far as what model they are, I really don't know. I would like to know that myself. If you are interested in buying this boat I strongly suggest that you check the stringers out thoroughly. My boat required some minor fiberglass repair. I am assuming the boat is in Alaska due to the registration number. So I would check it out very closely, no doubt it has seen some harsh weather.
All in all, Fiberform boats are very well built. I am sure this boat and mine were both built in Spokane WA. A friend of mine used to work for Bayliner in Spokane and confirmed that Bayliner did in fact buy out Fiberform. In fact they used alot of the old Fiberform hulls.

Doesn't look like they changed a lot over the years. You can see the similarities with my 1978 Fiberform Continental. As you can see, I completely re-did everything on it right down to the mahogany swim platform. Sold it a couple of months ago after I bought my Doral

I think that is the Pond Oreille model.
I've been looking for a 19' hardtop like that for awhile, also keeping an eye out for the unique trihull with forward cabin that they built.

There's a history of Fiberform at:

Here's some pics of a few I've found.

I saw one of those forward cabin tri hulls a couple of years ago going thru the locks up here. Don't see those everyday
