1983 9' Sportcraft (Li'l Sport??)

Curious if anyone has seen one of these little boats and if they have any info on it. It's 9' x 4' and it's definitely a 1983. I can't find anything on it when I search the hull ID number or in NADA for a 1983. There is a listing for the Li'l sport in the NADA for '84 and '85 but they are different dimensions. Went to register it at the BMV last night and they had no record of this boat ever being manufactured. Curious if it has any value. Thanks!

These boats and others like them were the precursor to jet skis and they died a quick death once jets arrived. Now they're not worth much, unless you find a museum that wants one. As a novelty, they're interesting, but other wise they're the Stanly Steamer of the personal sport boat world and only valuable to a collector.

Those pictures are great. That little thing looks kinda ridiculous amongst the big boys. Very neat!
