The lines remind me of an old Ford Falcon. Is that an open bow catamaran of some kind? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I agree it looks like a 3-point Hydroplane hull. I had never seen an open bow on a hydro before. The side grooves and over style make it look very old… early 60s or maybe even later 50s as glass was coming into the industry. I am thinking it is a pretty rare find and would snatch it up if you like it. Outboards were less than 100 hp before 62 if memory serves me. I am sorry I don’t know the brand or model. Pretty cool looking. A 75hp Johnrude would look nice on it.
