it s a tough one - im tempted to say Vistacraft or maybe Pro-Line? but then it has the rounded hull sections aft line the old Marlboroughs... theres obviously no indication of a manufacturers stamp on it? ------------- No disintegrations! |

So it's either a fleetline Sapphire, a Proline, a Figlass, a Marlborough, or a Vistacraft. Fishing.net for the win! To me it looks similar to my 1980 Vistacraft, but I really don't know. A builders plate would really help, must be one somewhere in there.

| Owner has looked for plate but unable to locate. A Trophy Champ was suggested ? |

Just to help the boat is a Vistacraft Seawolf 420 built by Vistacraft boats in Henderson They went very well with a 60hp outboard but they did not produce a lot of them. Hope this clears up some questions I have the original sea trial just can not load sorry |
