Dont know this model name, but, the time frame was 1970/71. Our neighbor bought one new from Carl Stirn's Marine with a 125 Johnson.
About 1977, some genius running with no lights 4th of July night after the fireworks T boned him and we ended up working hard to get him to shore before his boat sank. The boat was a total loss...Anyway, that is the boat, any idea what model it may have been? There were not too many made at all. If you see Bobby, he may remember the boat, it was Aqua Marine metal flake.
