Can someone tell me which of the E26 models this is?

Can someone tell me which of the various E26 models this is? (The lack of a cutout on the transom confuses me.) http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/1275492974.html

I'm thinking of driving down and having a look to see how much of a project this really is and am trying to do my research ahead of time. The wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericson_Yachts isn't much help since, per the chart, a 1970 E26 shouldn't exist.

As an aside, are the LWL and Beam measurements on that chart correct for the E26?

Thanks!

It looks to me like one of the early ones that were designed by Crealock rather than King. http://forums.sbo.sailboatowners.com/archive/index.php/t-68098.html

I have a Word document that shows basically the same info as in the Wikipedia entry, so it was no help. You might ask for the hull number or the HIN to help you nail it down.

E26-300 -> "Pronto"

Agree

There's a poster who purchased one of the original Crealock 26s recently. I don't remember his name but the boat's name is "The Creamy Pint." He started a blog about his adventures with the boat and impressions. You may be interested in checking it out. The blog is accessible on this board somewhere (it was moved recently).

Thanks both of you. That at least gives me some starting spots. And the Creamy Pint blog is entertaining. There are also about three 27s in the area that are in various states from "This is a kit." to "Head off on vacation."

I'm on the prowl for a family of three weekender boat that won't do too much damage to my five year old's college fund and have admired the looks of the Ericson's for a while.

That boat looks familiar. Check the floorboards real good and check for water damage (hint-hint). I think it might be a 1968 or 1969.
