I know it is not a matter of if someone knows what this is but just who will know first.....

Looks like a seabird

[cdavisdb]

Not a Seabird. I've seen one like it somewhere, but don't know what it is.

[kmoose]

Wow! No positive id yet! This thing must be real oddball.

Ken, I remember seeing on the TV show "The Ugliest Boat in America", just can't remember the winning name. Rats. One of my previous boats, which was a "19' Cruise Boat", came in second.

doesn't chris craft make a walk around like that?

[Sceptre20]

Sportcraft?

Yeah, at first glance I'm with Doug on that ID. Looks a lot like the Chris Craft Scorpion/Sea Hawk 215 or 216 of the late '80s. But that's not it - the cap is different. I would venture a best guess to be a '81-83 23' Cuddy Nautique (a variant of the Fish Nautique) from Correct Craft. That's my answer and I'm sticking to it Rare boat, me thinks.

[McGillicuddy]

Good stuff, Padre.

A friend has a Fish Nautique and runs a Pleasurecraft power also. So San Juan actually used the Correct Craft molds?

Guess they saw CSY take on the SeaCrafts and said "me too..."

San Juan 21 and 24 are on my short list for pocket puffers, but I'm really stuck on the Montgomery 17 and 23. Just love that lap-strake cut - so salty...
