I am not sure what this is, but it is pretty sweet!
I took this at Flynn's Bar in Ocean Bay Park on Fire Island.
Can someone correctly identify?

F-36 with the bridge off.

Some crappy HVAC vent covers on the fresh air intakes and exhausts too. Not such a good idea on the intakes as the originals "scooped air" underway. These would do basically nothing to that end which equals hot engine compartment and bad fuel/air mixes, not to mention improper ventillation of fumes.
Looks like some "custom" work has been done to the top as well.

Or a F36 without the flybrige option . And no bow rail
sure hope the blowers work with those vents or its diesel .

I wasn't sure it was optionable on the 36. I knew it was on the 32, so it stands to reason.
Paul, do you have the pitch in your salon roof like shown here or is yours flat?
The pitch might be an indicator of it being factory no bridge, but I didn't really know. Of course it could be custom too.
Strange animal for sure either way.

I agree on the f-36. Huge saftey issue without bow rails. I do like the padded combing inside the cockpit but they could loose the plastic palm tree.

it's a customized f-36 sport fish. the lack of deck rails sort of give it a 'carolina' look. the 32 has a cabin hump, the 36 does not. the 36 has the spray rails, the 32 does not as it has a molded in hull side to act as a spry rail. also, the cock pit is deeper on the 36. i guess they took off the bridge to give her a more sleek look. i sort of like it, but, like everyone else said, the hull vents are useless in their current form.

kind of nice looking and this style is all the rage in new boats , and I am guessing by the wicker chairs and palm tree, the engine and bilge vents never even come into play.....

From what I can tell up till 1980 the flybridge was still an option, model 460 equals a optional flybridge (for more money) and 461 makes the bridge standard with no lower controls. The options list I have for 1985 does not list the bridge as a option at all. I am pretty sure ALL boats out of PA shipped without a bridge and the dealer installed it.

sort of like the new cruisers yachts cantius line. i really liked the 45 and the 48 at the annapolis boat show. if i had to go to this type of yacht, it would be a cruisers. the 45 has a retractable sunshade for the aft deck, and their talking point on the website is directed at getting rid of canvas. that would be a huge bonus for me.
