1970s or 80s powerboat/day cruiser

[jeffascmclaren]

I just found these forums and I thought you guys might be able to help me identify what this boat is. I really haven't been much interested in boats until I saw this thing, and I WANT IT!

Anybody know what this is or where I can find more info about it?

Thanks,
Jeff

Welcome aboard Jeff.

It's hard to tell what it is. It looks like it would be something from the 80's judging by the motor and graphics.

What do you know about it?

I know basically nothing about it. lol

I drove by it one day and fell in love with the thing.

I really don't think that it is for sale. The boat is pulled just far enough away from the road to say, leave it alone.

I hate bothering people, and I wanted to see if I could figure out what it was or an approximate price something like that would go for. I realize condition plays a big part in this, and this particular boat also looks like it was converted to outboard at some point in its lifetime. I am not really fond of the big outboard hanging off the back.

I probably searched google and ebay last night for 2 hours trying to figure it out.



The boat looks to be 24' at least to me.

After much searching last night, I believe I figured out what it is.

1985-1989 Eliminator Pro Am

Check out this vintage ad from ebay and see what you think.

If you can sneak up to it, get the HIN off the back of the transom.

The HIN will be stamped into the rear hull, just below the rub rail. The first three letters correspond to a particular manufacturer. So if you get the HIN, we can probably figure out the manufacturer and then we can go from there as to figuring out what model it is.
