    First of all welcome but ok...I'm confused. Did someone take and cut off the bubble deck for the instruments (what a terrible thing to do for such an iconic design)? Or is this some kind of shortened version of the HD 18(for some reason it looks short)? I know the Tommy Bartlett's had some modified hulls for tricks and jumping but this is a weird one for me. Looks like it could be an 18 hull down below but the top deck just doesn't make sense. Need more pics please.

    That's an 18 with the bubble deck painted blue. Quite possibly the funkiest seating set up ever. Take some pictures during the transom repair. I have an 18 that could use the same treatment.

    , ty and i think i may redo the interior as i am not crazy about the bench seating and i would think that was a change, has three gas tanks in it, bow tank and two two tanks in the stern one on each side,

    I do believe that is original but until i get the boat home next week i can not confirm, when i looked the boat over the only thing that looked altered was teh seating which will be changed, i will post more pics once i get it to it new home next week.

    Ok, now I see the bubble, the shadows in the pics were playing tricks.
