I used to own the boat and sold it to some guy in Texas 3 years ago. I bought it from a guy in Panama City. It was set up as a v drive and the title said Arno. We all thought that it was someone's obvious miss spelling of Aronow... but then found out that the boat was supposedly built in Arno Italy and shipped to California. It is really a cool boat. I had considered converting the transom to a functional bracket. The boat is a full 28' long which rules out the cary although the layout with the two seating pods and forward hatch are identical. It's anyone's guess what this thing really is. The guy I sold it to was marketing it on ebay a few years ago as being owned by some Nascar guy... That, he admitted, was a total fabrication.
The boat was completely stripped and awlgriped. The trailer is chit.

I just called the mgr of my old Panama City yard (Marianna) and he said the boat was 27, not 28 and we actually sold it 4 1/2 years ago. The trailer that is under it was used for a 30 scarab towboat. It had those small diameter float-on tires and wheels which always made the hub overheat. So... based on the Cary brochure, I would have to say that's it. The forward hatch was a 2 piece, just like the drawing.
