Some of you may recognize this boat as it's had a long history of sitting. I bought it to save the neighborhood history associated with it, but it'll never get wet again. 16' whacker...
No HIN, but would like to figure out who the builder was years ago. May post what we're doing to it in the project section later with what I've found about why it wound up high and dry.

I love a good story about the history of a boat. Looks like it turned into a nice planter box. Lol

I drive past everyday 3 boats(all engineless jets) sitting in a storage place that are uncovered and I don't know why it always bothers me.  Bet it is the same owner. Just a hunch.

I've hauled it home and am in the process of removing the remaining dirt. I can tell you this boat was rode hard before it was made a planter with really janky repairs made to seat braces, stringers and gunnel supports.
I'm going to try to carefully remove the lovely latex paint to expose the original graphics (a LOT of really cool candy panels and fades), but the graphics underneath are paint (probably lacquer) not gelcoat. Going to try isopropyl alcohol on the latex and see what happens.

If anyone has any old pics of this boat in front of Lazy Harry's, please post them! I'm mapping the graphics and fades and will be stripping the hull and repainting it as close as possible to original.
