As per Michael Aronow quote, "I have the original model the men made Don in the back of the shop, a bit broken now but kind of cool.
Was so fast a tunnel hull - raced and did well - built in about '85 so don't know about '90 unless they have the molds or found one.
Keith Hazel was involved with the engines and Gary Garbrect with the boat. Because it was not a V - non compete with Cigarette
allowed it. end of quote.

Default 24' Aronow tunnel / step hull catamaran . 1990 #24 of 24?

You'll probably need to see the numbers of others built to really verify the sequence but most likely with typical formatting you have hull #16 the 24 likely a constant identifying model/length and the 0xx numbers would be sequential to hulls as they were built. The interesting part will be the E990 to see if anything else turns up with build date codes that late.

How did you identify yours as hull #4? can you share your entire HIN?

Thank you

where did that Michael Aronow quote from? Is Michael still involved in boating and willing to engage with Aronow enthusiasts?

I speak with Michael occasionally so when the post came up I asked him "what input did Don have on the 24'?....and that was his quoted answer. I've asked him in
the past to come aboard OSO but his decision is not to.

This boat is listed for sale on facebook marketplace right now. Are you selling it already or maybe the original poster didn't delete the listing.
