I think that boat was owned by ray leroux and was kept at port Edgewood marina, was a Charlie boat! Found it's way to new Hampshire then cape cod where it was owned by my ex next door
Neighbor, then cape cod divers let it fall into disrepair. I think it is still owned by someone on here by, the name of old school. Tell me Charlie after all this being said it probably is a different boat . Also the boat aim thinking of was a 330 trs boat.

It handled very well. Always flew level and landed straight. Very heavy for a 24' boat.

I think Charlie should have fixed you up with a better Engine Hatch. That Flopper doesn't look like fun...

Sorry, not one of my boats. Giveaway is the bow lights right under the bow rail. We did build a boat of the same color scheme early on, but not that one.

HATCH>>>>>for the record that hatch contraption was not one of my ideas. The only twin engine boat I ever built had Kiekhaefer vents on top and opened in a normal manner.
