Jeff, this one was built in 1985, all of the Shadow's were built in Lake Hoptacong, I think they stopped building them around 1990 though. I think the one you are talking about was pulled out of the Shadow molds (Linder/Luhrs) in NJ??? The deck & cockpit/dash appear to be changed from the Orig. Shadow molds, Scream & Fly member "Beer 30" used to own it, he might be able to fill in the Gaps. BTW I think the Shadow had the fastest bottom of all of the challenger/Shadow/Superboats etc. IMHO.

Original Shadows were built from 1981 through 1984...after that there was an break up in the parnership and the molds were "leased out" to a 3rd party with limited talent and no design ability. Many of the original materials were compromised and the molds were badly worn to boot.

Thanks Philip and T2X

WHAT'S COOKING BEEVE CAN I GET IN ON IT IF IT'S GOOD ??

Same as a 21' Superboat...the best 21' boat you can buy,,,

One of the best threads on OSO.

I was wondering if Mr. Linder has any idea how many "true" Challenger21's were made? Or even better, how many in what years?

Just bought a 1977 21 Challenger for a new project. Have to pick it up. Lots of pics when I do and of the restoration process.

Absolutely the most beautiful boat ever made, awesome thread! It may be a dream right now but I will own one someday.
