I cant believe I just bought this boat for 68$, thanks for the heads up, its a nice addition to the quiver. It looks like a screamin meanie?

It looks like an Acrobat to me.
The Screaming Meanie is a kayak.

TGG!

I used to have a screamin meanie, I am a k-1 convert, it looks similar in shape, no matter what it is, it looks fun!

There should be a build sheet glassed in about where the right knee-pad is or should be. That's assuming it's built by New Wave or PS Composites. There's no logo on the stern, but who knows, maybe it's been painted over. If there's a build sheet, it'll give alot of info on the boat (model, designer, lay-up, serial #, date of build). If there is no build sheet, just enjoy the boat. Not every builder does the build sheet, I've got a Viper & a Sith w/ no info.

What an amazing buy. You must be living right

I agree I'm almost positive, even from just the one image, it is an Acrobat.

I would have bid if it was closer - GREAT PRICE!!!

Have fun:)

Yeah - I cant believe the deal I got either, now I just need to figure out how to get the boat from western Kentucky to West Virgina, hence my post in the Ride for Boats forum.

As soon as I get the boat I will look for the boat information and post what I find.

I thought the screamin' meanie had volume up front and none in the stern. This won't have a lot in either end!

Your right, the SM does have volume in the front and minimal in the rear..

hard to tell from the picture, there looked to be volume in the front, but if it is a acrobat, then there definitely wont be much! I better figure out how to squirt boat..

The low bow volume in the Acrobat can definitely spice things up

!
When I took mine down the Ottawa for the first time I did an unintentional bowstall in the after Phil's Hole

, all the way down into Horseshoe hole

, where the boat proceeded to cartwheel...

... I ended up having to abandon ship...

. Great entertainment for the crowd watching me though...

TGG!
