I would say it's about 1980. I say that because of the square ribs in the boat. I also noticed there are more ribs than normal and there doesn't seem to be a factory livewell, must have been a custom made boat for commercial use or conservation. It's a great hull zseverns, I love my Duracraft, mine is a 1720 model, 17' length and 20" gunwale. I just upgraded to a 50 hp Mercury jet and it handles it great. I'm thinking about buying another like I have and refitting it for my son.
