euro scott, there is absolutly no info it that.

**euro scott** · 12-08-2011, 06:11 PM

it's a lead as to a builder, ce ryder is a boat builder that sold kit boats as I recall, Im betting someone used the homebuilt paperwork on your find

**decarlomitch** · 12-08-2011, 06:12 PM

i will go back and re read sorry.

Looks almost like a hi-tech 18 noo???

**21eagle** · 12-09-2011, 11:11 AM

Even has the forward seating under that hatch in the deck

**decarlomitch** · 12-09-2011, 08:07 PM

You know thats what i was thinking. I know that had to come from the same mold. the tag inside of the boat where it describes the specs says ce ryder corp, rhode island. and it say brm 1800. then give you the coast guard specs. maximum people 4 or 1250 lbs. 120 hp motor rated. the title also says brm1800. huh i just dont know. it has the same 5'10'' beam. i have searched for a hi tech 18 and have found only one thing. the guy that posted one on here a while back. its red and he claims it to be a hi tech, or a hawk super sport? not sure. i do love the sexy lines of this boat and want to find out everything i can about it. thanks for the reply 21 eagle

This is the tag inside the boat, says the builder, i believe this boat is the same as the hi teck 18, ????????? also if anyone can tell me what year this motor might be serial number is 6441650, has merc 1500 cowling on it but for some reason i feel its a 115??? have no clue on the year. looks to be late 70's early 80's? it has the coil packs.

**euro scott** · 12-13-2011, 03:52 PM

that tag is bogus I believe, first off it takes more than a 120 hp. motor, screwed on tag most are riveted in some form, no real ID info, very generic.
just my .02

**decarlomitch** · 12-13-2011, 08:54 PM

I guess that tag has really been my hang up, i believed it to the factory tag........... i imagine thats why i cannot find anything that corresponds.......... i was figuiring that somebody bought or sold the mould. ???? i appreciated the response.... any idea on the year of the tower????
