18-19 foot Higgins motorboat

Diver1111 · 07-26-2015, 11:26 AM

I found this off Welch Island while looking for an El Camino that sank in the '70's and a truck with a trailer attached that sank as I recall in the 70's or 80's.

Search as I may I cannot find any Higgins brand boat that looks like this nor have I heard of a Higgins before. Found stuff on Higgins on the 'Net but what I saw looks nothing like this.

Interesting small glass windshield. Straight-6 motor. Hull completely intact (fiberglass?). No signs of scuttling. No plate or bow numbers.

No decent side-scan image to post. Terrain brutal for a good scan.

Can anyone tell us more about this make/model boat? Age?
