please help with what model this is.....

[jdinvt]

Hi everyone, my name is John and I live in vt. I need some help to identify what model this boat is that I have a chance to pick up but I know nothing about it as far as model and if it is a good boat or not. The only thing I can find is there is a model number that 41515 but I cant find any pics or info on the web that I can find. If someone has, or knows anything about this boat, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.

HERE ARE A COUPLE MORE PICS OF THE BOAT AND ONE OF THE MOTOR.

I see that it's registered in Kentucky.

They would probably call it the "floating" model.

Looks like an Arrow Glass badge on the back of it. But my initial thought was a Chrysler boat.

Welcome aboard jdinvt. On used boats condition will matter more than who originally built the boat. If it's been well cared for, chances are it's worth getting. If poorly cared for ... run, and fast.

What does the PO's registration call the manufacturer? Also, what's stern drive is in that?

I agree, it looks to me like a Chrysler maybe early to mid 70's?? Be careful! I was told to shy away from the old Chryslers, although that was for their outboards. got any more info on it? Engine size, condition, etc??

By the way... WELCOME ABOARD!

Thanks. The only other info I have is that when he got the boat it had no motor so he got an 80 merc, older one, with a hyd jack lift, hull is sound, seats could use reupulstered, and the motor is not hooked up but has new wireing in boat and on trailer, has controls but not hooked up either.

Does the outboard run? Neat lookin' boat ... no such thing as a "gem" in terms of buying something that will be worth more later. BUT - if it's in good shape, you like it and the price it right, it could be good fun and earn a few braggin' rights.

He said the motor ran bur smoked pretty bad but it sat for a year, thinking might be bad gas or foged out. Im looking to trade my bass guitar pluss amp and extras fo the boat. Thae hull, he said is in great shape but the seats need work
