Hi
over the pond her in the U.K. some of the boffins and I are struggling to identify this boat.
its 70’s and has a Chrysler V8 and drive.
its likely a Scandinavian boat like a windy...but the engine is putting me off. I think it’s very like a Winner viscount...but not identical. Even quite like the old bayliner similar model. Any idea ?

I feel sorry for that trailer , talk about overloaded and undersized, it looks like it's about to crack in half. I would be surprised if there is any weight on the tongue. A accident waiting to happen. Odds are it was not built in the USA especially without a HIN.

a boat with an old chrysler drive........ we call that an Albatross..... "The word albatross is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse"

Hi
Looks like a yard trailer, but remember UK trailers have to be a certain width. They often look small but are strong.

WOW, that is a clean shop... My boat sits in my garage at -50 in the winter. I just pop my head in a look thinking of the boating to come, lol.
