This is a VERY rare Arenacraft Manta. It is a 1961 V-drive. They made this hull from 1958 to 1961 and only made around 30 in a V-drive configuration. I have searched for 4 years and only know of 2 others. If you know of one I would like to hear from you. This one has been fully restored. The deck was seperated from the hull and new stringers and floor installed. The area below the floor is filled with floatation foam. It has a new fuel tank. The312 Ford Y-block rated at 215hpwas rebuilt including rebored new pistons, new cam, new oil pump, heads reworked with hardened valve seats, ect., ect. The transmission was rebuilt and the V-drive has all new bearings, u-joints and gears. The seats are new including the wood, foam, and custom vinyl. It runs smooth and strong and gets on plane easily with a top speed at 40+ MPH. It has a very solid feel and handles nicely like a 80's Ski-Nautique. The trailer has been sand blasted and painted with Rust Oleum it has bearing buddies, new wiring and custom tail lights. Sorry for the limited pics I had no intention of selling it but things have changed and I am listing several cars and this great boat. I have winterized the boat and it will be fully detailed before the buyer picks it up. Please call Brian for more info or to set up a time to see it phone.
