    Greg, he is a good friend of mine.

    He lives outside Stowe VT, and boats occasionally on Lake Champlain.

    He put the boat up for sale several years ago. I listed it for him on here, it is a 1974 Ski-Sporter. The link Matty posted is to the ad for his boat on this site. Paul is the second owner, and it is still running the e-Drive.

    1966 Ski Sporter?

    Check this one out...

    I have checked under the front deck and behind the dash panel and can not find any signs of a hull ID. I did find holes that looks like where a windshield would've been mounted originally.

    The boat has been painted and the motor and out drive changed.

    Thanks for your time and help.

    Sorry the pics are stupid and upside down, they are save in the correct position on my computer so I don't understand why they are uploading different.

    Funny - Matty’s pix upside down when I click, 45171 are right side up!
    What a crazy world.

    Better pictures might help narrow the range, gas tank may have a date, but will be inaccessible.....

    There may be a number behind the bow eye (where you would clip the trailer cable), not the lifting ring.

    From what I know it’s solid glass. It all looks the same. And I see drip marks on the hull around most of the inside as if it was coated without separating the top from the bottom.

    Negative. There’s nothing and it all looks the same as in the pics.
