Looks like an early 18ext... only partial hull under the pod. 25K USD seems a bargain though.

Awesome! You will love that boat. I sure loved mine. Does that version have the hollow hull section at the bottom or is it solid?

Crying is more like it! Several commanders not moving with more beam, low ball offers on those would be a better option.

The Everglides (Pre-Bridgeport) used to have a hole at the stern from the V about 4 or 5 inches vertical that went to just aft of the waterline at the bow. When you were stopped or trolling the water would fill it and it became like a ballast tank and stabilized the boat tremendously. When you hit the gas the water would all flow out the back and it would act like a normal hull. I looked at building a new 18 a few years ago and when I was talking to the people at Bridgeport they said they had to get rid of that feature because Coast Guard and Transport Canada just couldn't wrap their heads around how that could work and be safe, so they dropped an amazing feature because of red tape. I just wasn't sure if that feature was gone from the start of their builds or just came in later with new models.

TC and CG aren't exactly known for their ability to embrace new design concepts.. The flooding keel design which you're referencing is frequently found in small trailer boats in Australia and New Zealand where they take small boats far offshore. The need for a steep dead rise to handle the swell and open ocean chop has obvious stability drawbacks for small, light vessels which is counteracted by the flooding keels a lot of them are equipped with. Check out Veitch Boats and Sea Devil Boats for reference, great concept which would definitely have a market on our coast and it's cool to hear a local yard tried to have a go with it at the very least!
