Hello all, was wondering if anybody knew who the manufacturer of this ski boat is? It's 15' in length. Any ideas or can anyone point me to someone who may know?<br /><br />Thanks<br />fyb<br /><br />

Man, I like it! Looks kinda like a Tahiti or an Avenger, but the wraparound dash bulkhead thing is too high. Any Hull Identification Number?

From the looks of the boat and the motor cowling...I think it may be a "Price Cutter" brand?

I wonder how many skiers that troller can get up.

Kinda Gregg, not totally convinced but it's similar. This boat is in Canada.<br /><br />fyb

Maybe an old Cougar? There is nothing that small in their lineup now, but they are Canadian and the bulkhead treatment looks like theirs.<br /><br />BTW, welcome to iboats!!

Thanks QC, I agree that the bulkhead treatment is very similar... dunno if they ever made something this small before though. I'll have to visit the owner and see if there are any remaining ID plates on this thing. <br /><br />fyb

Well I was wondering why you would mount a fishing motor on a ski boat.

I guess the guy used it as a fish n' ski... anyway, I found my answer and thanks to those who were able to steer me in the right direction.<br /><br />fyb
