Cool hull, that was one of my dad's favorites and I talked to the guy you bought it from a few times, but he couldn't locate, or it wasn't there, the original ID plate. It would show who rigged it. I'm always looking to find one of his old boats. It would have been in my driveway if it had his initals on it.
Robk on the hot boat board tried to give me his old tahiti, same hull but it was all white, and I looked at it, but again, no id plate so I passed. Those really ride nice, but it's no air intrapment bottom. Just an old deep vee, and those big chines make it very stable. You'd have to be running at warp speed to pack any air in them, and then with that deep entry, it'd bow steer like carzy. We used that bottom with 4 other decks that I can remember, big seller.
Oh yeah, by the time this hull was built we had already moved the shop to cerritos and A&M trailers, who built this trailer, were located in one of the 3 buildings that only the year before was Tahiti, in Bellflower. Competitive trailers has been in one of the other buildings for the last 30 years or so. I believe Schuster still owns the property...a little usless trivia.
