1979 Holiday 18 Curved window V5?

[FLOATTUBR]

I have a 1979 Holiday 18 Curved window but not the extra rib on the hill. So, is it a V5 .....or not.
thanks in advance for your help and support

If it looks like the one on the left, the answer is yes. Single strake is a modified V-hull. Both were sold in 1979.

Thanks for quick response.
So so so it can be a single strake and still be a V5?

 

[GA_Boater]

No!

Read my second sentence and look at the pictures.

Forgive me, I thought the curved windshield was an indicator also.

It's a V5 hull, not a V5 windshield. That's what the pics show.

Understood

Post a pic of you 79 Holiday anyway.

The 3 things that give away the V5 hull are the smooth sides with no laps, port side fuel filler and the extra bottom strake. Most times the swoosh has the distinctive V5 emblem on it too but not always.

This one is yours too I believe?
