My dad had this boat and loved it due to some circumstances he lost the boat. But anyways i wanted to get one like it now been about 4 years since he had it and he doesnt remember what kind it was. I want to say it was purchased new in the early 2000's not really sure.

Not at this time was the only photo i could find, It was bought in FL if that helps and i remember the front was not exactly seating was more like the walkway ended right after the windshield and was just a large raised padded area. Also i want to say that 200 outboard was the largest one the boat could hold and that was the only one he could find brand new that had a "maxed size" engine. another pic just about the same angle

It sounds like a dual console model, rather than a bowrider. There were many manufacturers of this type of boat: Cobia, Mako, HydraSports...

What about model or year, i know i started trying to look on Google and it doesnt have the back to back seating like all the ones ive seen, dont know if that makes a difference or not... Thanks so much for the help.

with the euro transom I'd say more likely mid-2000's. It will be hard to find that exact model, brand and year, but it is a basic dual console V. Look at Sea Hunt Ultra.

Many dual consoles don't have back to back seats b/c they are a waste of space; a DC is designed to be more functional (and roomier) than a typical bowrider.

Re: What boat is this? Please help...

Thanks for the help guys, seems from what i have noticed that all of the 18's i have seen are rated for 150hp motors, and the 20' 200hp, now what happens if i put a 200 on a 150 rated boat and almost everything i have seen dual console do not have trim tabs, is that something that can be added on a used boat or do i need to just keep looking to find a boat with them already? I really like the dual console boats due the many, many uses of them, just seems like they are a lil hard to find unless you go brand new which is a lil out of my price range atm.

If you put a 200 on a hull rated for 150, you will be overpowered by 33%. This issue is discussed in many, many threads. It is illegal in some states, so you should check that out, for starters.

Trim tabs can be added to any boat that has the proper mounting surfaces.
