Last count I heard was over 27 boat companies made a 24X 6 boat from those splashed original designs.

This design has been a good design for certain boating conditions. It also enabled a lot of people to enjoy high performance boating on a modest budget. Enjoy the boat and set your eye on the next bigger boat you want, exactly the same as the rest of us. In the end the desire for a bigger boat never ends.

It looks like a cool boat for that price! I think the main 2 that had that style windshield were the SE Pantera's and the Python's but if it's an '85 I don't think the Python's had windshields back then. Tough to tell in the pics but the Pythons had a lot of space between the front and back seats that most others didn't. Looks like someone did some work to it with the Bravo upgrade. On a side note are you able to dock it with that steering setup? It looks like there's not much movement in the steering ram with how tight it's mounted to the outdrive.

Never seen a 24/7 with the little Formula /Nova transom bump on it before. Wonder why that was added into the mold

The bump in the transom was added because it was a straight shaft boat as originally designed. The bump give you a flat surface to install sterndrive gimble housings.
