Ok you sanger guru . My buddy Mikey has a sanger v-drive true flat 1974. Trying to determine if it a family ski or circle runner or even a drag runner according to sangers brouser. He has measured the length and says that it in between the family and the drag runner.

I believe the family skier has a ever so slight vee @ the transom. Just a couple of degrees.

what is the length of the boat? i think sanger made a 17'10, 18'3, 18'6, 18'10, 19. the 18'3 and 18'6 were the runners.

I've got a Sanger Brochure, it says:
Family skier
19'6 long
81" beam
108" deck
Drag runner
18'6" long
78" beam
110" deck
I would look for evidence of back to back seats if they are gone. If it is a 2 seater then it's not a family skier like mine:

That looks like the 19' . If I'am not mistaken it was used as a circle race boat at first, then more of a familly boat when the 18' 6" came along for racing. I can't remember all of the details from that era. I had two 19's set up as river boats in the the early 70's with back to back seating. The bottom on those was a gull wing configuration.

As suggested in the previous posts, it looks like the 19' Family Skier, Check to see if there is a tiny amount of V in the transom. If it's not a runner bottom it's not likely an 18'3" or 18'6" (I have seen one 18' 3" true flat however) Stopped by the Sanger factory yesterday. The boat in the showroom is a 1973 wood deck 17'10" model.
