I would like some help in identification of this boat.. Year, Who made it, model etc? It is registered as a 1980 Columbia Coronado but i have doubts about that one. I have also been told it appears to be a mid to late 60s Columbia Challenger possibly with modified windows. Also was told it could be a Columbia 7.6. I would like to know for sure...
The stripe looks a little bit like a Hunter, version 2

I'd go with the 60's Columbia Challenger for starters.. AFAIK Columbia and Coronado were two different builders - on Mainesail's Boat ID thread there was a similar looking Columbia...

Thanks ajari.. i looked and that didnt help any as the striping may be a replacement that someone did.. I dont think its original. Faster? Can you provide a link to that look a like on Mainesail?
If your hull identification number is legible (It should be), you can use this link to use the manufacturers code that makes up the first part of the HIN.
Scroll down a bit, for a "columbia about 25 feet'" in Sailaway's post - now that I look at it if it's close yours has extra ports... While it's similar I don't think it's the same design....

If that's the production cove and boot stripe, I'd say to run away if you're thinking of buying it. It does have a Coronado look and I want to say that Columbia bought Coronado.
