Hi guys, getting close to pulling the trigger on the purchase of this 1981 Shadow. HIN starts with KRG, can someone tell me if this is a Linder built boat ? Also, does anyone recognize this boat ? Previous owner, work that may have been done to it ? I am trying to find out about anything that I can’t see with my eyes. Thanks in advance.

Did you end up getting this boat? was wondering where it ended up

Not to resurrect a dead thread, but I am bringing a 21 shadow back to life, any suggestions about common problem areas? The boat seems to be in fairly good shape, but it has been sitting for quite a while. Thanks in advance. -Nick Attachment 382568Attachment 382569Attachment 382570

My Challenger

I had a brown one with a cream deck. Had a Johnson 235 on it, but when sold got broken up. Have no idea where it landed!

I bought the boat from Johhny Saris a couple of years ago. He did some work on the transom

Ya I think Johnny and I figured out it wasn't my old boat. My boat wa an original 78 or early 79 Challenger. It was built extremely light to be a race boat. Even had a Balsa core transom.
I blew the transom out of it in 82 or early 83. Sent it back to factory, it was repaired free of charge but came back as a Shadow.(decals)

I believe they were three layers of balsa in transom

They replaced my balsa core transom with marine plywood

The picture is probably not there any more but when we did the notch in mine it was dry as a bone . Maybe lucky?

...so, the challengers were made for what, three or four years, before the bankruptcy...sound about right? then image/shadow name was incorporated & utilized?
