    What Is This 18?

    I'm not sure what to make of this. Looks like it was originally blue but was painted. 18' long.

    Interesting Matty. Was Vance Boats an east coast builder way back? Did they do 18 knock-offs?

    It sure does have a lot of the same lines.
    A winner is just a loser that got up and did it one more time.

    not sure where maybe fla? if you look for pics of this boat you will see it has the same setup as evil300's boat except it is an OB it has open gunwales it is like 17 feet something. the owner on my lake when it was there thought it was a 16 but once he saw John B's 16 he quickly knew he didn't have a donzi. it does have some common lines but once you look at it you know something is off
