Default 26' Ex-Race Boat....anyone recognize this type of boat????

Anyone recognize this hull/boat. From the history I can gather my Dad bought it used in 1979 in Pompono Beach, FL. He said that it was titled as a 1976 26' Custom. It measures 25'10" and the most unique part about the boat is the v-drive.

This windshield was not on the boat when my father owned the boat. When he bought it in FL it was used as a race boat and the name on the side was "Warlord."

Hear are some recent photos and I will post old photos of it.





Does anyone know what it is????

Here is what it used to look like

here are more pictures when it was purchased and then re-painted.

Has anyone seen a boat like this?

I found it for sale and am trying to figure out if the price is right and whether I want to restore it.

What would you guess this boat is worth. The guy is asking $3800 with no trailer. He says the motor runs.

Whatever it is it looks like they sold the mold to Baja to make there 260 from the early 80's-mid90's.

its in Wadhams, MI i believe. My brother took the pics, so he knows what city its in.

I just want to make sure I'm not paying too much for it. The guy that has it says he got it from a marina. The boat needs some TLC and I haven't checked the hull yet for weak spots, but I always said if I could find it again I would buy it and restore to the condition when my Dad owned it.

why would someone just leave this boat. I must assume it was storage fees that pilled up and they just decided to leave it.

I still wish I could find a hull like this one to learn more about its history and evaluate whether it is worth something. Sentimentally it priceless.
