Monza?
 

I'm looking for information on my 1988 "monza". HIN says it was built by sunshine boats miami. Looking for more if possible.
it's a 24 cig style hull 6ft beam.
Thanks

I had one built around 85/86, was great strong boat, I watched it being built at the plant with Eloy. You put the bow down and throttle down and that little boat would go through anything! It was a 7' beam .

Eloy and the boys built a hell of a boat. I had a red 24 built in 1987. I used to run the hell out of it through the intercoastal in Boca Raton when it was really snotty. That boat was a little wave crusher.

We're they 6 ft beam? So did sunshine boats build monza? Or something else.

We're they 6 ft beam? So did sunshine boats build monza? Or something else. My Hin #is HNQ.

I’m pretty sure they are a 7’ beam. A buddy of mine had one many years ago.

Mine if definitely 6 ft beam. Also has pad on keel. Solid fiberglass hull as well. I will post picture after 10 posts. She is waiting for repaint as we speak.

I'm not sure but never saw a "Monza" with a pad on the bottom, they were old school V-hulls with short narrow strakes, rode very deep in the water

Well that's interesting. She has a pad in the keel. There are no markings other that the hin #. When we picked it up it had Cigarette Monza decals but not the Cigarette logo. I assumed it was labeled by previous owner. I know molds hopped around the miami shops back then. Would you know who HNQ hin was?

Sunshine Boat Co.

Do you some pics of the pad on the bottom, so few offshore boats had them in the 80's as I recall?

Here are some pictures of the pad. It's hard to find anything about this boat company.

I never saw a Monza like that?

How would I find out what sunshine boats built? Would USCG have a mode registered for that hull number?

Hey Lost Channel,

Did you ever find out any more about this boat? I'm looking for something similar myself.

I love the 22 Nitra, but out of my price range. Also, I want to chop it up and turn it into a center console or side console fishing skiff.

I've seen some panga boats that fit the same dimensions, but I wouldn't say I like the look.

Monza 24
 

No I haven't found out any more. It is a great boat. We use it every weekend. I guess she is a mystery. I was interested in getting pictures of other ones to try and restore it button luck. I did hear that pantera built some boats for them but that to was a dead end.

There are a bunch of different makes and models for the 24x7 boats. But almost no options for 22x6.

Ya it's a 24 x7 made by sunshine boats out of miami. Trail is cold

I have a 1983 Monza and its a 6ft beam with a straight V. Eloy built my boat also.
