Rob,
It's a Newport dory on the sport boats for sale board on allcoast. Check it. I looked around and it's pretty solid. The guy selling it has ran it to Catalina a couple times from Newport. We're gonna stick a center console on it (if there's foam under the deck it'll be a little tricky, so we'll see), and do some other stuff. I guess those Newports are 'like bathtubs, you ain't gonna sink em', so I'm not too concerned with weight. For the price that guy wants too, it's right in there. We'll see what goes down.
