the vents are in front (bow) isnt that a late 70īs early 80īs

That's what I thought too.

For sure a Mistress, I bet its actually a 83, not 88... the number is probably hard to read....

Very few early ones had the widscreen like that from what I know, that was more common 84-86 I believe..

Lots of work but if it was cheap and you have a doner boat for parts... and of course the ability to do it yourself, but to pay someone no way would I get involved in that mess...

hell of a wave crusher though...
