    86 G- Boat

    Found a 86 Gambler for sale here locally, We stopped and checked it out it has a totally different hull design than my 87. Well the front of the hull is the same and the pad section looks totally different, kinda like a tunnel hull or somthing anyone know about these boats or have seen one?

    if it is one of the 183 tunnel's...i would probably pass on it...they just didnt perform all that well, and had a very bad porpoising problem...
