Negative, the Prindle does not have dagger-boards......maybe a Tornado? great shape to those hulls.

The adds says 17 foot. And without sails. I would say without mast also.

I've asked the seller. We'll see.

Not a Prindle. Those rudders should help ID the boat, I just haven't seen anything like them before.

They don't look like dagger boards, more like centre boards.
It's not a Tornado, they did not have the "lip" on the decks.
The seller may know little about Cats, notice he has the front beam,(with mast ball) sitting where the rear beam should go.

Not an 18-2, I am working on one now and they don't come close to looking alike. May not be American made. Is there an hull ID# anywhere

I have only seen one, but it seems to look like a Chrysler catamaran, yes they did make a beach cat for a few years.
