I don't know much about flats, did Howard make a bubble deck in 75?

Looks more like an 18'6" Sanger to me. Wait for Brodie to see the thread, he'll know for sure.

[FlatRat]

10-4,
will run the motor out of the Flattie.This boat a Bubbledeck Runnerbottom.I check it out Thurs.He didn't know it was a Runnerbottom. :sleeping:Did Howard make a Bubbledeck Runnerbottom? Should clean up real nice. :D Can you say Twelve step?

[MoJetBoPar]

ALL The Sanger Bubbledecks I've ever seen had that little bump on each side of the top of the gunnels where the person in the front seat would have their elbow.
Most Rogers and Mantra's are molded with smooth contour there. But those were not v-drives or runnerbottoms that I've seen.

I think Howard did make a bubledeck runner , There is a guy that shows up to Camp Far West with one that is primered with a Blown Chevy.

Well, your welcome for bringing it to your attention!

[CircleJerk]

Adding to my Christmas present list, is the fact that Timmy also now has three boats, like me! That should be a great boat for Debbie.............Too fast for you though. As the add states Howards made two decks and different bottoms, I have never heard anything bad about a Howard. Best of all, I thing the original builder is still around. Great it was in your neighborhood and you could see what you were bidding on. Congradtulations Mr. ___Rat ! Group Christmas present for sure and you can set your calendar for June 11-12 at Sammamish to debut her infront of a big crowd! Perfect......No more excuses now! :D
