This one is in my area. It's a 17 footer from about 1970 with a straight 6 motor. Looks like a longer F-14 to me but from what I gather there were a lot of "clones" back then. Can anybody identify it for me while I'm trying to track down the owner?

How many feet is it? It looks a little like the old 17ft Formula.

Looks to be about 17' from the pics.. :biggrin: :cool: :idea:

MadDog is your assumption that it is 17 feet long arrived at by using the 15 inch trailer wheels as a reference point to determine a scale .... ????

Ahhh I see, that would explain why I thought it was 24 feet long ... :D

A T-top, a couple of rod holders, a live well, and a big cooler, and that would be one sweet I/O fish boat.

You guys are funny. Tomorrow I'll measure the wheels to determine the size ratio formula (did someone say it was a Formula?). But now that I've looked at the pics again I'd say it's a 27 footer, if you consider the number of axels.

Drinken & Driven is as bad Drinken & Posten!

Yup! I think it is a Formula, when I bought my 17 same motor but a closed bow it was sitting next to one that looked like that. Should have jump seats each side of the motor box. Any numbers anywhere?
