Identify this boat anyone?

[anradan]

I have recently acquired this boat (a gift from my father) and want to start researching what and where to get the parts it needs. I don't know what the boat is. I think this would be a worth while project to sink some money into.

Personally I'd run, not walk, away from this one. You might be able to part it out and make some money off it it but you're probably looking at many multiples of thousands of dollars and years of work to rehab that poor ole' girl.

Sorry i don't know what it is, Chris Craft or Carver maybe, not sure.

Looks like a Fiberform to me.

[Commuter Boats]

I agree with PortTracker... it's a Funnyform opps, I mean Fiberform.
You gotten good advice so far, they were built in the 70s and tried to compete with Bayliner. A small to medium-size shop has to cut a lot of corners in an effort to compete in the same market as a shop like a Bayliner.

Trojan made a boat that looks a lot like it in early 70's

[Zappi]

Definitely looks Fiberform to me. I would expect massive stringer and transom rebuild due to core.

[JohnCar]

disregard

[Northwester]

Sorry guys but this one is NOT a Fiberform.

It's a K&C 22' or 25'. I can't really tell from the pictures what the length is.

AFAIK, they were made near Vancouver B.C. I used to own a 16' model.

Just came back from Abbotsford B.C. ......had a close look its a K&C Thermoglass 20/21 foot ....Built in Richmond B.C.
Thanks for the help anyways

Hey there Norwester
I measured it from bow to stern came to 20'
But if I include the hareware and the back of the transome it was 22'

[Northwester]

That's an awfully short boat to have a command bridge. If it was my boat, I would remove it............. Anyhow, if the transom and stringers are not yet rotten, you might be able to get away with spending a smallish sum of money to get it going again. There are lots of if's to consider:

-corrosion damage to engine from sitting unused
-soggy wood core in decks, stringers and transom
-leaking or corroded fuel tanks
-leaking seals in outdrive

The list can be endless. Whatever you decide to do, any money you spend is lost forever and won't be recovered by selling the vessel. You could very easily spend 10K$ on that boat in a heartbeat and still not have a seaworthy vessel.

You can reduce costs by doing lots of the work yourself to a point. Make sure you get good advice from someone who actually does know boats or else you could create a situation that results in a FATALITY.

If your heart is not set on reviving your Dads boat, there are better bargains to be had out there in todays market where someone else has already spent the money and time and you get to buy it for a fraction of what they have spent.

I recently noticed a Monaro 21' for sale for 12K$ on Vancouver Craigslist. That is a top quality boat that you would not be dissappointed with. I already own a boat I'm happy with.

It sure looks bigger than 20 or 21' when you consider the length of the foredeck and pilot house; not to mention the aft cockpit.
