Saw this on a Facebook garage sale thingy.
Blurb say's it is a 1987 HH 5.5 with a 225 HP Johno .
Can anyone confirm one way or another.
To me, with my untrained eyes, it just dosen't look right.

Looks more like a Nova.

But would need better pics... front on and transom.

It's no Haines but you'd have to question the size of the donk. No insurance company would cover it.

John Haines would never have designed something that looked like that.

Looking at the Bow......... could even be a Swiftcraft. ?

225HP does seem a bit " over the top ".

My first thought was also Nova... It would have to be a freebie to be worth anything I say :)

Apparently the stringers, transom, etc etc have all been done. Boat repainted, new parts every where. I messaged him in regards to the ID plate and he said it had the vin, hp rating and year etc. Methinks a fake. And he is asking $8000. No lookers yet. :P
