That boat may have been built/lay-up in Hollywood by a subcontractor.

We could also do a 45 on the outboard corner like the 25' & 38' Gunnels were finished ,that would look cool with the molding gone.

That one was beat up and probably hadn't seen a cover in ten years from it's condition. A few soft spots on the floor, some delamination on the front deck and the gel coat was chalked bad. 1988, looked a lot like an early scarab. The hull was still solid and transom looked fine.

Some people that own those old ones swear by them, 88 from the hollywood lamination shop and rigged in Lauderdale.

Man original paint (Imron) even looks like a piece of a sundance marine decal ,the boat could be an 86 or 87

If you're using this as a basis for comparison I'd take the time to crawl around a '97 and up, even a '94. Those will stack up against anything.

how about a 92, 25' . The open fish boat shows how pp started out with cobra heritage ( by a french guy no less)and vastly improved keeping the great hull design. Indy you had a really nice boat and the new mold is way to go. Btw, I bought the pp fiberglass shop and contents at the auction and all of the materials and tools I got were fist rate and creative. Still using it today on all sorts of repairs. 3nd pic is my old cobra (the sweden sticky boat). Steve, best thread ever, and yes that was a sundance marine sticker.
