That's an older hull than mine, quite a few differences. I can say that my centurion is built really well, but sucks in rough water.

Mine is a different hull than this one. Mine is more like an advantage banshee copy. I've only seen ~ 10 or so like mine and every one has some differences.

For the experts, how similar is this hull to the Tom Papp 19?? It's been forever since I've seen one of his hulls but the lip in front of the dash and the slight lip at the top of the transom kinda reminds me of his boats.

Just a long shot in the dark here though.....

RIP T.P.

Nevermind. I just looked. Wayyyyy different hull! Carry on! :D

When i first saw it i thought" ya those were brendellas" could be wrong though. Friend haf one and as said couple of different bottoms. My friends would unload very easily.
Had a friend that owned a HURRY ROU D HONDO back in the day. Yellow with blue band center steer straight deck. Dont know how many they made?
