Flatback?

Flatback?  http://www.nationalfisherman.com/classi ... 226566.gif
Here's the link to the ad:  http://www.nationalfisherman.com/classi ... n_name=all
It is just referred to as a 22' boat with a Suzuki.  I think that it is a flatback and if so I would love to see rebuild pics of that.

Possibly a flatback but my wilda** guess is she isn't.  Shape of the bow seems to show some compound curve at the flair which is absent in the early hulls.  Looks like she was reworked to punch through some heavy seas.  Asking price is high but who knows...

Maybe it's one of the early Prolines.

Never thought of that...  :?

BTW, what are the differences between the Proline & AS's hulls?

Kinda hard to see the real outline of this boat with the one behind it there.  
The bottom seems to fit the profile of an AS (at least my 170 - no strakes, chine runs all the way to the front) but the top throws it out of whack.

The earliest Aquasports were the 22-2 and the 19-1.  I think that the early Prolines were 24 and 20 feet in length.  Here's a link to a redone 20' Proline at THT. http://www.thehulltruth.com/forums/thre ... 96&posts=7
I can't really tell to much of a difference on the computer screen, maybe they look less alike in person.
There are also a couple redone 24' Prolines on the Hammerhead Livewell site.
