I Found this boat in a craigslist add. Can anybody tell me what kind of boat this is?

Looks like a jet boat from the 70's like a Hallet or Challenger. Similar to this boat - 1977 CHALLENGER SPEED BOAT BUILT 460 FORD TUNNEL RAM BUILT JET PUMP $NO RESERVE$ in Powerboats & Motorboats | eBay Motors

Re: What the heck is this?

the add could be deceptive on purpose. get better picks or view in person. check transom & stringers for rot. soft spots on floor generally indicate rot below that is 100 times harder to replace than the floor.

if the boat mfg date is post 1972. and US made. it'll have a hin on the transom somewhere. the first three letters can id the boat mfg. the last 2 digits will id the year.

no numbers=scam.
anyway, you are asking the wrong people. If the seller has the title, it will tell you. If he doesn't, you aren't buying.

Or is there another reason you are asking?

Looks like a Hawaiian 23' Day Cruiser to me...... I had a friend that had one with a Ford big block and jet outdrive. Many parts are NLA!

Re: What the heck is this?

I with Frisco I believe it is a Sleekcraft. I beleive there was a thread of one that was restored in the restoration section.
