What Boat Is This

I dunno , maybe one of those Klem Magnum splashes ?
If it's an 86 there's going to be a HIN on the transom and that will answer all questions.

Looks like an Excalibur,but it wouldn't be an Aronow design.

Looks like an Awesome to me out of Algonac mi

No Hull #
We looked maybe the painter sanded or Glassed it
Still can’t find a boat with the deck like that been looking everywhere 🤷*♂️

yes it does

Any Pictures or Models to Google Info All I find is Cats By that company

Called Nv Wildlife there saying title is listed as a 1985 Day Cruiser 🤔

Well , that narrows it down a lot . At least it isn't a 'speed boat' , a 'fishing boat' or a 'cabin cruiser' .. lol
As far as the other names that were suggested , would their build quality (looks a bit rough to me) and the fact that it's a single engine Alpha drive be reflective of what they did ?
I can say that if you take the 'hump' out of the foredeck you're looking at virtually identical Magnum 27 design/styling.
Don't you hate it when people erase the HIN ? ?

I dont care what they call it. But she has some good old school lines. Love the low freeboard.

should have bought my 28ss. Lol

Still no one has found a boat that looks just like it 🤐

No paper work, HIN missing, how could you legally get it in your name to register it.

Request owner info from NV registration number. They will also have paper trail of owners. May be a charge. Then try to locate last owner.

I contacted Nv Wildlife They said that if they can’t find hull number or any information then they tag it as a homemade boat and there goes the value👎 Shows in there system as a Day Cruiser . That not enough to find out what it really is.

Might be a 31' Spirit .... was a stretched 27 Magnum, think they were made down Florida.

31 ft Spirit Sales sheet

31 Excalibur knock off by klym(aero. Lancer. Awesom) and later branded predator boats the bump in the deck is the "former" add on but h2 o offshore mark might have another story to add to this

Sure you didn't misunderstand him and it's really an Arrow Now?

It's A 27' second generation Klem Magnum copy.

Any literature on them ? Anyone with pictures of one ☝️. What’s the deal with the Sccop on the bow look ?

Probably where they had to incorporate a % amount of change from the Magnum deck so it wouldn't be considered an outright copy .

How many of these Klem Gems knockoffs did he make ???

What Years were these knock offs made from

Here is what appears to be the same boat...

This boat has single bbc
The one on that link has 2 bbc 🤔

Well....not the exact boat but same builder/hull.

Put the number in a HIN finder
https://www.hindecoder.com/

Came up unknown but the prefix ARO comes up as Carolinian Boatworks.
None of that means much to me but likely someone on here will know more.
Good luck!

Don,t think its a Klemm Gem or Don Aronow.

nice to know it was made between 2008 and 2012. also nice to know they were still making TRS drives in 2008...
