Anyone have any advice on these hulls? I have the oppertunity to pick one of these up fairly cheep? Will be used mostly for lake/ski boat. Are they heavy hulls?
They not the lightest of boats ,but they are bad ass if done right. Two of my buddies have Mandy's (63' & 67')both are real nice. As of matter of fact I'm trying to get one of the them to sell me his 63'. Can't beat the old nostalgic boats. What year are you looking at? You definetly need to post pic's.
It a late 60s,I havent taken any pics yet.

My Mandella weighed about 1,100 lbs. - with no hardware of any kind except the strut, cavitation plates and hardware and a few gauges.
It was a GREAT recreational boat. The only time I got in trouble was trying to make it go fast as it is a serious "Driver's" boat. But, because of the tank like hull, it was a great riding boat even when it got rough. This boat is rock solid - no flex of any kind. For what you want to do, it is hard to beat a Mandella - compared to other nostalgic flats/circle boats.
Thanks for the info! I have a 19' jet now that the hull is 1150#,so now I am looking for a v drive that has a lighter hull.I have a 472 with about 550 horse to put in the boat.I would like to tickle the 100 mph pointI like the hondo and sanger hulls,its just hard to find one reasonablly priced that is still structurally sound! Are there any other hulls that I sould keep a look out for?
