Title: 1981 Rogers For Sale ***Sold***
Post by: Uncle Al on March 31, 2018, 02:11:57 PM: Hello, I am new to this Site and have a 1981 Rogers for sale. Boat length listed on registration is 18"6". I am the 2nd owner of this boat and have owned since 1983. Boat has always been garaged. Comes with original 1960's BBF with 4 BBL Carb (I will provide additional detail on motor next week) and Berkley Pump. Boat sits on tandem axle trailer. Gelcoat is original to the boat and is still in excellent condition. Bottom is also very clean as we have always anchored and never pulled up on a beach. Boat has thru-transom exhaust and rear swim step. Fresh water only. Boat has not been run in 5 years so will likely need some TLC before heading to the lake. Motor lower end is good and rotates freely, likely will need carb rebuilt, fresh battery and starter (I have rebuilt unit ready to go) and ignition checked. Pump will likely need some maintenance as will as the trailer due to how long it has been sitting. I will be posting additional pictures next week. Feel free to contact me at 310-666-2902. Asking $7,500

Additional pictures of boat added....

Post by: 76 Bonneville on April 01, 2018, 09:43:47 AM: Could be wrong, but it looks like a 18' Bonneville because of the small back seat and the radius at the back.
19' TR does not radius under as far as the 18' because of the drop chines.
Again could be completely wrong. Maybe just the way the pics make it look

Yep, I was wrong. Thanks for posting up the transom pics.
