Please help identify my boat

[fishtheblock]

Iv owned this boat for two seasons now and cant say enough good things about it.
But i cant identify the builder/ make/ company. I describe it as a Sisu with a Novi bow, as it comes up much higher than typical Sisu's. rugged as all hell. shes 23'

Any help would be appreciated

Looks like a Alyway. Not sure though no good with the novi's

What's your HIN?

That should be step 1 in discovering what it is.

 

[WRHardie]

LeBlanc Bro's?

 

[BOSBoatMan]

No ain't a Leblanc. They didn't do that Cape Island style bow and they didn't put cockpit coamings on her as far as I know. First Team's right, start with the HIN.

And now I am very curious myself.

Samson?

Samson Enterprises Ltd.

Just for curiosity - how did you manage to register it? What did you fill out for mfg? Home made? You are not the first one on the forum to be in that situation, and I can't help but wonder about the paper trail. Sorry, can't help you on the ID but she looks to have Novi roots for sure. Take the Team 1 approach and find some hull numbers. Good luck!

Wheres cousin Artie when you need a name pulled out. He is like a professional walking downeast hull namer.

He's out there lurking. Poor guy must have a bad case of stage fright anxiety! Come on Artie......you can do it!

Samson did a 25. It had a pronounced hooked bow. There are/were so many small backyard companies popping out outboard "baby capes" in the maritimes. You may never know. Although, from the pics this one looks like one of better put together ones. Do Canadian hulls have vins? Or if they do now, did they have them in the 80s?
As a fan of novis, I hope this mystery gets solved

Good luck

Shh....fellow "fan of novis" don't piss off the die hard resident downeast folks. Lest we be compared to Walmart shoppers for buying foreign fiberglass

23 Samson

Here is a 23' Samson. Not really that similar, and it has an Armstrong bracket.

Ha ha! Just wait until you can buy a Wei Novi Tu hull!

What's your HIN?

That should be step 1 in discovering what it is.

The boat has been sanded / re gel-coated twice in its life and the imprinted HIN is no longer legible.

 

[F/V First Team]

Sounds to me like you have a Mr. E boat instead of a Wei Novi Tu

 

[Pedlyr]

Maybe this can help

Three Fiberglass Molds

 

[BOSBoatMan]

Unless you're from New Hampsta there should be a title on the vessel, no?
Check title for HIN. Now I'm very curious.

If you're losing sleep over it now, since ya don't know what kinda boat it is wanna sell it for cheap? I'll solve that problem for ya, lol.

A surveyors red flag right there!

 

[fishtheblock]

Thanks for the leads. If i find an answer i will post back, not to optimistic though. And yes registered as home made
I became the owner of this boat in an unconventional way, the owner had a quick decline in health and i just happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right amount of money. I will now never own anything but a downeast because of this boat. so it would be cool to know...

Should have it splashed

OK. Now we all know what kind it is. Given that info, you shouldn't be posting pictures of it on a boat forum if you want to keep it!
