I am amazed with some of the knowledge possessed by some of the iboat members. I came across this boat and am interested to see if anybody here identify it.

Looks like an '80s Larson with a new paint job.

Nope, that is the original paint. I'll give you another hint. And no the manufacturer is not Berkeley

Liberator or Checkmate (Libermate) with dropped in Berkley jet power to replace the stinking old OMC power.

Ok maybe this one was to hard. The boat is all stock 1995 model year. 22ft open bow, merc 525 supercharged jetdrive will run mid 70s.

I really thought somebody would get this in 5 minutes.

A late 80's/early 90's open jet drive speedboat with a left side drive? That is about as rare as they come. I was going to say Fountain, but you can't see the very tip of the bow. I don't recall ever seeing a Fountain with either a left-side drive or a jet either.

I think I found it. check out late 80's to Early 90's Eliminator's. They made quite a few left hand drive boats. They produced boats with jet drives. They made boats in this class with open bows. I found many that look VERY similar.

That's my .02

That is an Eliminator. No doubt. And they made a pickle fork like it too.

That's the Kachina from Winni ;)
They didn't make many of those, nor many small boats. Mainly 30'+\

Glastron Carlson 21' didn't those all have that backwards windsheild?
The snaps on the bow cover also gave away the bow rider, which I don't think the other manufactures made in this hull style, checkmate for instance looked more like a modern day Fish & ski with an outboard.

I was considering this boat as it is for sale however I am going to continue on my original quest for a Glasstron Carleson Scimitar.
