Help with Identifying Model

[mgros483]

Hey guys, first post here, long time reader.

I was at the boat landing on the Mississippi this weekend and saw this beauty loading up and instantly fell in love. haha.

Well really though, this is exactly the boat I'm trying to keep an eye out for. Unfortunately I was riding with someone that couldn't wait for me to talk to the owner, so I snapped a quick picture and hoped I could do some research online.

So, this is what I came up with:
-Flying D?
- Flying C?
- Deep C? (This is the closest match I've found)

I'm really struggling finding it out. If you guys could give any insight, that would be great. Also if there are any other models that are very similar, let me know. Basically, I want to buy a boat as close to this as I can, so any leads are welcome!

Thank you in advance.

Marty

definitely a C hull

the front deck matches my Deep C and my Super CS

the seating matches my Deep C

the seat backs/wheel decks match those on the Flying C

I believe those components could be ordered from the factory - that is you could order a Deep C with Flying C wheel decks
