Perhaps something w/ a little more 'patina'?

Yeah, NO idea, but it's been referred to as an aluminum Jules Verne, Flash Gordon or Buck Rodger's craft in several different forums since 2009. NO firm ID.......

no, i think it's the Beatles' Yellow Submarine....needing a bit of paint. but i like it.

interesting hull design, remniscient of the Hickman Sea Sled, which became the basis for the Whaler hull.

Hickman Sea Sled was referenced on a few of the sites that it's popped up on........ It may have even been a prop for a movie.....

I was thinking the guy who owns that boat has good taste seeing that airstream back there and then I focused in on that rotten glasser... :cool:

Hey - Chief - The first two have the same CL link. The pic for the #1 looks like a decent one. WLOD????? Something something Out Drive? You found a couple of good ones in the last two.

It's a crusty Mercruiser. Or painted the hull color, but still crusty. No OMC parts on her. Hence the confusion.

Looking at the hardware I believe that mystery Chief to be a '74 18 footer. I think a lot of them sold with 115 Mercs standard. Bunch of cool boats you found, BF. The lines on those early-mid 70s Islanders are sweet...someday :rolleyes:

Thanks, Blue. The #1 Chief looks like a good one, even needing cabin work. I got confused about the WLOD reference. :facepalm:
