The "older" boats aren't Regal-built. '86 thru '93 were Regals built under licence from Stepp. They were built like Regals. The ealy 30's had a habit of cracking where the engine compartment bulkhead met the side of the hull. Mine cracked from the rub rail down to the chine and the cap broke in half. By now, if they were going to break, they have. The question is on the quality of repair. I saw several other early 80's boats break in the same place- and on the same side- the left side.

Here is a ugly 1987 on ebay, needs a lot of work but does have blower motors in it.
