Reply to: Is this really a Nacra?

[quote=Edchris177]Biggie & someguyinohio got it,Freestlye Cat, thanks.
After some more research I found the HIN code. The vendor misread GSN as G-five-N, easy to do.
The directory of takeovers & defunct companies shows them as oob, out of business, in 1982. 
"Gsn Was Freestyle Catamaran 1942 E Pomona Santa Anna Ca 92705. Oob 12/08/1982."
It was produced in limited numbers by Boston Whaler multihulls, but they would have stamped it FMS.
Another bit of trivia, when pinning down the year, things were slightly different before Aug '84. Before this date the month was designated as
AUG A  FEB G
SEP B  MAR H
OCT C  APRIL I
NOV D  MAY J
DEC E  JUNE K
JAN F  JULY L
AFTER Aug '84 it went chronological,
Jan A, Feb B, Mar C, etc.
I may still swing by for a look, it actually might be in pretty good shape. I found photos that show the tiller tie as a V shape, & blowing up his photos show the tramp as it should be. If you blow up picture #4, it shows the slugs in the track on the port rail. The tramp is laced to these, much as the Nacras do on the rear beam, this boat is just missing the lacing, or it was undone for storage. If a guy could pick it up really cheap...<em>edited by: Edchris177, Sep 21, 2010 - 07:17 PM</em> [/quote]
