My cousin is getting this boat handed down to him and he has not seen it yet, just pictures. Was wondering if anyone knows what kind of boat and motor this is, Its kinda hard to see. I was thinking maybe a terry.

That is an old "Sidewinder" one wet and rough ride! A bathtub rides better!!!!! Sorry.... but it's the truth!
I would agree with you , but then we would both be WRONG !!!!!

BJH is right. Made in Gladewater by Shipp Marine. Pretty much a flat bottom. I had one back in the day with a Merc 150 "tower of power" on it. You could slide all the way across the lake when you tried to take a high speed turn. Indestructible boats, but heavy and rode like a dump truck.

Wipe it down with a little BBS and you'll be good to go!

Is there a current title for the boat? May want to find out before he gets too excited about this.
