Looks a lot like a Liberator. They make them fat like that, but then you get a lot of room in a 21'. Never been on that make specifically. In the Liberator 201(?) you had to not get real rough, or those wood cuddy doors come apart. Nice for cruzin!

Is your wife going to let you drop in a big block. I think you'll need that much engine to get that rig up on the pad:D :D :D.

Well its large to say the least. I can sit in the cuddy almost any where and not hit my head. It does slim down at the nose. I took core samples from the floor, transom and stringers & it all was perfect with no rot. The motor is a 4.3 mercruiser w/ alpha 1 drive. I had to replace the starter, the drive bellows and trim rams to get it runable. But it fired up on the first try!! It had been sitting up for 2 years ..I was really amazed. The trim rams busted when water froze in them. I ran it today & its a very good riding boat.

I now have to get it cooling better at an idle. It keeps going up to 200 if your not running at least 1800+ rpm's.

I've got to replace the alternator and control box but other than that she's good to go.

At $500.00 its was a steal!!!!

The guy also gave us the bimini top and it has a full cockpit enclosure, so cold weather riding isn't a problem any more!!

You really got that thing for only $500.00? If anything, look at it as an investment!!:D ;)
