This is a tester

[Kracken]

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.

Re: This is a tester

LOL I was thinking along the same lines

Is there a VIN to post?

Re: This is a tester

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

Re: This is a tester

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

Re: This is a tester

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.

Re: This is a tester

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

Re: This is a tester

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

Re: This is a tester

Glastron?

 

[bcons]

Re: This is a tester

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

 

[bcons]

Re: This is a tester

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.

Re: This is a tester

bcons got it.

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.
