IDEAL BOATERIFIC 'BARRACUDA'

Some photos of my latest Boaterific find, a 'Barracuda' Sport Fisherman boat in fine condition with no bits missing as far as I can tell.


Like the other boats in the range there's plenty of detail filling the deck, in particular the two long outriggers, which  are designed to aid stability to the boat in rough seas., Not being a fisherman myself, I made the mistake of thinking they were just heavy duty fishing poles. Thanks to an anonymous comment I'm a bit more savvy on that point.

 
The bow has a tiny 'Ideal' flag which I kinda think is a nice touch.


The Union Flag flies at the stern.

  1. My favorite childhood boat! All that's left of mine now is a hull in rough shape. Will played with it was! Looking for a nice one on eBay.
