An unknown one, back in black from the dead. It may be a Allmand but it's a carbon copy of a Nova Marine and only the 16th made by them and was John Allmand's personal boat at one point.
Picture was taken when almost finished. It's done and sitting for the last 12 months under cover waiting on its first test drive. I restore boats but the doctors have to restore me before I can.
larslindroth sadly the owner of the yellow Wellcraft recently passed away and the boat was forsale. Don't know what happened after. He was part of my ACBS chapter. I had my red Allmand Nova 19 sitting in side by side slips during a boat show a few years ago. We were Brownie's baster kids section that year. Good times!!

That yellow 25 seems nice, original gel coat ? I take it the stringers and transom have been redone and has a single big block now.
Wish you Luck with your health issues.

I stumbled upon this Brownie Nova up in Tarpon Springs 4 years ago behind a locked gate on a weekend so couldn't get any more pics or info accept that it was at this T-top fabricator shop.

tommymonza Pretty much new everything. Something like 40 gallons of resin, unknown yards of mat / cloth. had to take the top off and flipped it in my yard for all new coring in the front and rear decks. Even had to take my motor cover out of my 19 and pop a mold off it and then make a new one for the new black 19 (first time I ever done that). Chevy 454 with some upgrades, to a 280T transom shield and a 270 outdrive (my back up drive). Did the whole thing on You Tube if interested.

Not how I read it. I think f_inscreenname was telling larslindroth that the owner of the yellow boat had passed.
