the hull was 3/4 in at the pump and was sporting a yj. think they were made in Seattle

I'll say! I kinda like it! Almost Sidewinder-ish, and Sleek-ish at the same time.......good score! :thumbup:

Heavy or not, would be a VERY cool float!

Green is good! Upholstery needs someone that knows what they're doing (Not me) to just tighten it up a bit, but VERY cool float!

Right side drive, I love it! Whatcha gonna do with it?
