Registry says 79 22'....but it has left hand steering, a Volvo outdrive, what looks like wrap around seating, and mid-sixties style vent on transom. Any ideas?

Sure looks like an early 16, the registry might have a typo or the member moved up in size and did not change photo.

Early 16 with tons of add ons. The 280 Volvo (which this has) I don't hink was available on the 16. The I/O version died and went outboard when the 280 showed up.

About 6' shorter than a 22... :D

MORE PICS, WAAAAYYY MORE PICS :yes:

Engine a must see as well as interior

My 76 ski sporter had a Volvo 280 drive. Left hand steering but not those vents.

Here are the two other pics from the Registry. I agree that it definitely looks only 16', what's throwing me off is the serial number that's posted DMR220180779-C - which I believe indicates 22'. I think MOP has probably nailed it (typo) - Registry owner is in MI but I've never seen palms there :smile:

Look in the background, I'm quite sure that's the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. The others look to be along the Colorado River.
