No, it's not a Hurricane.. It is a 1977 Deckboat "Deckette" 16.5ft. w/ Chrysler 70hp. The word Deckboat was a brand name in those days. A versatile fish, ski, cruise boat. The shape of our modern Hurricane hulls is vastly superior in rough water. This old tub would smash a wave into the air and then drive under it. Rear-facing passengers in the bow seat would never see it coming. Hilarious!
Finally took delivery of my new 188 this week and got her in the water. Compared to the fishing boat I had it feels like a Mercedes. BTW, Erickson Marine in Hastings, MN was an absolute first class outfit to deal with from the purchasing experience, to the delivery and a 4 hour walk through and test drive. Happy Boating!
Cool, yours has a knee rail where mine has switches and switches where they ought to be. A definite engineering improvement. If I had your console, I would throw mine overboard.
2013 SS188-OB - it is great for the family. A little skiing and tubing but mainly just floating, swimming, & Eagle watching in the clear water of Island Lake WI.

Pick up my new Sundeck Sport 202 on Tuesday. First boat I've ever owned. Can't wait to get in on the lake next week.

Just a wee bit tiny, Scooter1969!
Got another picture?
EXCELLENT cover! You'll really appreciate it!
Awesome boat and awesome "action" shot!
Thanks... A friend of ours was next to us going across the water next to us and I was actually trying to spray them when this pic was taken.
First day on the water for this 2015 203 O/B, really nice boat!
@89checkmate. Gorgeous boat. And you'll love that motor. I've had one for 5 years and almost 200 hours and runs like a champ.
