Looking to Identify a CraigsList boat

This popped up on the Detroit Craigslist today.

Any idea what it is?

It looks blue to me.

It's Number 6... or 9 if they put the rag on downsideup

If I had wanted abuse I would have posted in the bilge! :p

Seriously, it looks like this could be pressed into service as a cheap tender. I was hoping that someone would recognize the logo on the sail and provide a little more info.

In the Craigslist ad, the owner himself says that he doesn't know the make/model of the boat in question.

It might be helpful to know this info, then the weight and capacity of the boat could be determined (if the specs were on-line).

And I might not be the one looking to purchase a tender...there might actually be other forumites who might find this post useful.

The really sad thing is that I KNEW that GARY E was an insignificant, mentally challenged blow-hard; still I took him off my ignore list because I thought that he might actually have something valuable to contribute. As you can see, I was wrong to believe that GARY E might possibly have any redeeming value.

So GARY E, welcome back to my Ignore List!

Of course, if any other forumites believe that Gary E has any redeeming value, please feel free to comment now.....

Now, now.

I've actually had folks look up sail insignia on this list, so there must be books showing same -- might be worth asking around at a sailmaker's shop or ?

The insignia looks a bit like a "U" with either an 8 or 9 below it -- that might help.

This site might help.

Also, the vin number, if there is one, can help id the manufacturer.

What ever it is, it looks like a pretty fair deal to me. Would be a lot of fun for a couple of kids learning to sail. There may be a capacity plate if it is a production boat.

Well, in all honesty it probably doesn't matter what it is. I can understand curiosity but it does look as if it would suit as a small tender. If you need one and the price is right then it looks like a decent boat.

Looks like a good deal to me as well. For $375 you could hardly go wrong assuming it's in fair shape.
