Bought a boat last year , 23 ft + 2ft pod , 225 yammy , guy I bought it off said It was a leeder which I disputed , can anyone tell me what it is , I reckon its a Baron Sea Eagle Targa that been tampered with .
It hasn't let me down at all and overall have been happy in all respects but curious to know what I'm riding on

Bevoi think you are very

i think you are very close -the hull looks more like an 80's vintage Baron Sportsman - the coloured sides make it a little tricky to see the lines properly -either way looks like a good solid rig!

yep
yeah the slopey bow is what makes me think its from the Baron stable , goes pretty damn fine but lurves a drink , bit different than my old chivers Pursuit or my seamaster but plenty of room to kill things comfortably

Baron Offshore
I think its a "Baron Offshore", bigger boat than a Baron sportsman, not many about. Had a surf on the net but couldn't find one for sale. I have a picture of one on my PC but don't know how to post it in the reply.

Not Baron
Pretty sure its not a Baron or Pacemaker or Hustler, but cannot put a finger on the name.
Originally it would have had a stern drive, possibly OMC
The original windscreen would have come up to a point but has been widened to accommodate the top.
Edit --- It has finallycome to me after racking whats left of my braain, I am pretty sure its a Swiftcraft design.
Very nearly bought one for my first boat, got a 19 foot Hustler instead.

I thought Penguin when I saw it, they had a 21 and a 23 that looked very similar.

Early models
The early model swiftcrafts don''t have the square bow shape. The windscreen is a later addition, the originals just came up to a point.
I am talking about something that would be 30+ years old.

hul shape
The hull does look like my derben, but the topsides are a verry diffrent shape to mine. The old derben is a pretty dry hull, and better than some others I've used in the ocean.
