Nice ride, Looks like a Spectra. Howard may have bought a mold or it was a splash. Regardless Howard is a nice boat. http://www.spectramarine.com/

Bigdaddy i'd like to think its 180ft rooster but its kind of hard to tell. I want to get some more side shots and figure out a way to measure it.

I'm sure it's a spectra splash. My friend alway's gives me crap about running around in a splashed hull,he even put up Spectra's ad "Most copied boat of the decade" in my shop. He's got alot of room to talk his ride is a Couger 1800ss(Eliminater splash)
Anyway thanks for lookn' http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

Just add to your ski rope. Then you can measure it. You can ski under my rooster with a 100'rope. You get your hair wet doing it though

get someone to take a side shot of your boat and rooster. From the pic, find a reference point you can measure on the boat (bow to transom is a good one) measure it on your boat and then on the pic. You now have your scale from which you can deduce the length of your rooster.

Slick,
The trailer did come with the boat. It's a Competitive tandem with surge brakes. When I got it it was rusty,orange had broken lights miss matching rims,flat tire, needed welding and straightining and was basiclly a basket case like the rest of the boat. I think it was original equipment because the fit is real good,it too is a 1975, and it has cross members all the way up.I don't think a skeg would have fit unless the boat sat real high.
