ID HULL

hmgm123, Like I said need some dry days in a row. Its super close.

I dont wanna usurp the thread here we can yack in chat tonight :)

Im just showing theres lots of round sided boats but not all are true Palm Beach Styles. Mine is not a true WPB style.

walleye52753, they were designed for grass mashing, dry is their strongest suit.

Still a bunch of people that build them in ther backyards. I know a few guys who do.
 
Looks like a stossel to me exactly like the one I was trying to TPWD to sell to me. These boats are awesome to drive wet or dry, if you like a slider this is your boat.
I you decide to get rid of it pm me I've been looking for a fixer upper stossel for a while now. :D
 
THERES SUDDELL DIFFRENENCE'S TO THE PALMBEACH FULLDECKS TO TELL THEM APART... FOR ONE YOU CAN LOOK AT THE TRANSOM - STOSSEL'S WILL HAVE A LIP WHERE THE TRANSOM WAS SET IN FROM THE VERY BACK OF THE BOAT , SUCH AS THE ONE ON SCOTTYS BOAT IF YOU LOOK AT HIS PIC..... A KLINE TRANSOM IS MOUNTED FLUSH TO THE BACK WITH LIL OR NO LIP ..2. KLINE USES CHANNEL BULK HEADS INSIDE THE HULL AND 3RD. STOSSEL'S HAVE A RAISED ROUNDED TOP DECK , KLINES ARE A LIL FLATER ACCROSS THE FRONT....

MY KLINE HULL

bowt,i just got off the phone with mike stossel,he said he would take a look at the pictures and get back with me,
 
Now that you mention it Brew your are dead on it is hard to pick up on some of those things I you don't look close enough.
 
Thank you guys . I can tell you this the hull has been sitting there for the last 9 years. I am hoping to get the hull in shape then go from there. I would love to have an old style boat like this.

Thanks Doug
 
Dusty, Mert's old boat which is now raizincanes used to belong to a guy named Don Grice. Here is a pic of mike stossel's current boat which he built mostly at Ed Froehlics shop in christmas.

This is a Grice hull also.
He built six of these hulls I think before he died, and this one is the second to last one.
Don Grice Built it for Robert Hosier Sr.

Here's The Black Pearl.
It's all 100% Kline. 13 foot

Here's a 13'er under construction by RDM20470
Its a very close copy of a Kline. It has a transom overhang such as Dusty described Stossell does on his, as RDM did his bottom transom frame out of t-bar.

Here's my little 10' 3/4 deck PB style built by Sean Capps. Had a O-320 and foot steer. It'd make your butt pucker in deep water but in the skinny stuff it was a blast. This little boat would run dry ALL DAY too. I still kick myself for selling it. I just might make it my mission to find it again. I hope there's something left. It would have been a great first boat for Little Cowboy. :cry:
 
walleye52753 sent me these cell phone images last night. Here is what he is looking at. Could this be a Panther Hull??

Panther or an older Air Gator, if he gets the hull I.D. # he can call one of the two and they will be able to tell him all about it.
