THis kind of looks like a switzer but a lot bigger with better lines and bigger fins and a tunnel hull,it is very wide and deep,it is all plywood and it has been bowed and shaped nicely.this is a 16-17ft boat, I don't know if it a kit boat or??? thoughts

Just a thought here but could it maybe be a running plug for a yet to be built glass mold? Very cool looking hull. Looks heavy.

I have made a few calculations: This boat will become airborne at 62 MPH, reach a height of 12 feet and then glide for a distance of 87 feet before splashdown.

Hi, I own it, it was a used boat and now was stripped by previous owner,I have been told by people smarter than me,,it was not a kit boat and who ever built it this was not their first boat,,it is all wood,the best part is it has an adjustable transom,we will get it done,we are finishing the American marc and doing a feathercraft vagabond now then this is next,you can see some of the finished boats at
www.billscars.com
it has not been updated for a while,also it is not for sale, thanks Bill
