They're few and far between, but they're still out there. I know of a couple of them up here, but they still have have happy owners.

New tanks by imco
reman motor 460 built by jasper

I think there were at least a couple different Horizon hulls in that size. Do you have any pics to narrow it down, or would anything do as long as it's a Horizon?

I think there was a tunnel hull and a semi V. I know a guy with one that runs my local river. Big wide flat looking beast. His is 460 powered and really has a hole shot.

I've seen one sitting at a auto repair shop next to me for years. A couple of weeks ago I noticed it was gone, I don't know if they moved it, trashed it, or sold it. I'll ask on Monday. It looked to be an 18ft it was in so so shape.
