Boat ID?

This popped up on marketplace for 500. Seller says it's wood. Looks to me like a Catboat, spars are about equal, mast step forward, but I can't place the hull. I restored an old wooden catboat a few years ago and miss the misery and frustration. Does anyone recognize her?

Yea, I wanna see under the cover. I assume it'll be a basket case judging from the price.

What's going on here? Is this the same boat? Is it yours?

Same boat and I reached out to the guy for more photos when I made the other post.

Oh, thanks for that. Were you considering it? Pics are great, She’s got more leaves in her than ideal but it doesn’t look as bad as I was expecting. I think I’ll go poke the bilge and see if she’s solid.

I’d love to but I have too many projects. Looking at the photos, it seems like the hull is fiberglass, not wood covered with fiberglass. Let me know what you find out.
