Abandoned Hull, ID help

[1978 Rogers]

Can anyone id this hull? It is sitting at a house that was busted as a meth lab. The owner is in jail from what the Puyallup Police tell me. The house was a rental, so since the boat owner can't clam the hull/trailer, the owner of the house takes possesion. The engine and pump were taken out. Probably sold for chemicals. The suction piece is still in. I'm trying to find out what type of hull this is. Any help would be great. It has full stringers. Interior is gone. The trailer is sitting on the other side of the house. I think it could be a cheap project.

You can see the trailer in the back of the last picture. I guess it could also comes with a boat dolly.

My wife tried looking it up at here bank. No records show up. So it hasn't change hands in 5 years.

Heck I would pick it up just for the boat dolly!!!
The VIN should start with a few letters, Roostwear and a few others here are pretty good at figureing out who built it

Where are some other place the vin might be? On my Rogers it's imbedded in the gel on the back right corner.

Usually on the transom right where you are thinking, or sometimes on a "maximum weight" plate near the drivers seat.

Yep, sure looks like a Horizon. The transom gives it away, and the thick molding across the top of the transom.......Those boats look fast just sitting on the trailer, but both of the ones I've been close to had some serious porpusing problems. Both also had "Bayjet" jets in them.......In fact, I gave one of the Bayjets to "Eric 455" here on the boards............MP

Yeah, looks a lot like the Horizon I saw at Moses Lake. Vern S knows the guy.

[1978 Rogers]

What do you guys think its worth w/ the trailer?
$1,000???

[crf311]

500.00 max

think about keeping her, Cool lookin' Boat in a kinda Funky way. :cool:
was suprised when you said it had Full Length Stringers. guess you would have to have a Motor & drive just layin' around to make it work. I think you could get $1,000. for Boat & Trailer if Boat had the Jet Drive still (Bummer) :rolleyes:

[1978 Rogers]

I thought I could clean it up and make this boat a tinker project. Mines in good shape so I don't want to mess with whats not broken. You know what I mean. Buy a used pump for either the boards or Skagin Marine in Auburn WA. Piece together a motor. Sell it for what ever I can or just to break even and call it a learing experience.

Yep, that would be Cal's rig, not sure about the performance but he could throw that thing into a spin like a saucer, very weird bowl shaped hull.

Jet City Rebel, that lake in your avatar Lake Sammamish ? my Father grew up in North Bend, remember swimming in that lake as a kid on trips to visit his Family (not to offen) was up there couple summers ago after not being up there for Years (40yrs). the Microsoft campus is close to that Lake & alot of Nice ($$$) Houses along the shore. things sure have Changed.

The pic was from Alder lake. Sammamish is very nice but too busy for my taste, your right about the growth and housing costs in those area's.

[Vern S]

I agree with the others, I believe that is a Horizon. Chris if you are interested in a jetboat project I have one in better condition and more complete than that one. Will make you a good deal on it.

I thought that looked like Alder with the trees right down to the water line. If it was Sammamish, you'd see docks and houses in the background. We're going to take a drive out to Alder this weekend. I've never been out when the waters low. The old town of Alder on the far end might be exposed.

Did Cal have Red Chevy pickup and an old Red Camero? The boat had a BBC in it with OT headers. The pump use black. I always wanted to talk to the guy. His neighbor told me they was making meth in the house. I guess he just went threw a divorse and got mixed up with the wrong crowd for some extra cash.
