As you would expect, the boat is in the greater Tampa area.

The work was done by a builder who wishes to remain anonymous.

No question, it is deluxe. A LOT of work went into this one....The front and rear of the gunnel cap had to be refabbed, only the port and starboard portions were usable. And of course the transom completely torn out including the outer skin...the Seahunter had the "block" area down low.

That color combo...the lines...she's a screamer :thumright: Glad he sent the pics :salut:

Always thought the 240 Seahunter was the queen of the 70's fleet. This build shows her true lines. Tough to gauge the hull lines of the original.... she had the little forward cuddy, rail, etc.

What a beautiful boat.

Happy we've had this shared with us. I'd buy this boat in a skinny minute versus any "new" Aquasport clone.  

Check out the tower, and all of the custom aluminum. The real deal from one of the best custom houses in the USA

Don't have a clue, but will inquire. Not my boat...unfortunately.

Have been advised the gunnel cap (cap ring in Tampa terms) was retrofitted (lengthened)  from a current production boat.  Also fits a 12 degree 22-2. PM with interest, thanks.
