From what I can tell, it is likely a late 70's early 80's ranger 1600v, center livewell, mid-late 1990's merc 50hp tiller. Stored indoors, carpet is surprisingly in good condition (possibly re-done), fiberglass is faded bad, lots of holes have been drilled into the cap, keel is in really rough shape, pad is good, transom seems solid. Overall, just needs a lot of TLC. To my knowledge, this boat has seen the water twice in the last 18 years. I have not been able to find much info on this particular hull. It would definitely be a project, however, very doable and I should be able to get it for next to nothing. The question I have is if anyone might be familiar with this hull? I'd hate to put a bunch of time into it if it is a crappy ride. Feeling a little nostalgic, I think I could turn it into a head-turning-fishin-machine. It appears as though it would be a smooth runner, just thought i'd see if anyone had an opinion.
