Identification of this hull
« on: March 09, 2021, 08:11:19 AM »
I was recently gifted a boat which was initially ID’d as a Flatback of some variety. It is 20’ 01” LOA and about 7’ 06” on the beam. The hull looked like a ringer for perhaps an early Gull but things aren’t adding up. The length is more, and there are wood stringers used in the hull. Assuming the wood is factory, would anybody be willing to venture a guess to the maker of this?

The lines look so close to an Aquasport that if it isn’t one, I figured perhaps a few of you may know what else it could be.

Thanks,

Steve

Definitely not a 222 FB nor a 191 (no strake exiting the bottom at the transom). Doesn't have strakes at all.
The NE being boat centric and lots of small builders, it could be just about any brand.

Proline for sure! That one  has been heavily modified and much better than the original layout.

Here is where the Proliners hang out and document their rebuilds - you don't have to hunt for them https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?board=14.0

Oh that’s a wonderful help fellas! And yes it’s been heavily modified. The rails are 15” wide so they can be stood upon while clamming. I’ll be trimming that back to about 8-1/2” wide and shortening that bow compartment as well, but still keeping the workboat look. The whole thing will take a lot of work between the stringers, deck, transom and rails. I’ll be sure to keep you guys informed
