    Sterling Jet Information

    Can anyone tell me anything about this boat. It's a I979 Sterling 18' I'm told they were made in Martinsville Va and only about 10 were made. It has no badges, would love to see a Sterling badge. It looks to be like a clone of the 18' Rogers. I just picked it up last week, any help finding some information on this boat would be really cool THANKS!

    C o o l

    Thanks man
    I'm stoked to get it all together and running this year. I'm being told to loose the 3 point motor mounts and go with a rail kit. I have the front and rear
    motor plates if I want to change it over but I'm torn, think I will stick with the 3 point set up for now.

    Do you have any pictures of your boat in the water? I have a 1979 Sterling jet as well, but have yet to get it in the water.
