Welcome to www.hotboat.com!
Hey Jon, I've talked to Gordy about this and he doesn't know and I was to young too know the difference back then. It's listed as an 18'6" and also as a 19 in the 2 ads below. My guess would be it's a gull bottom. When the boat resurfaces someday we will know. Gordy said he's seen it at talked to the owner (years ago) and the guy wasn't interested in selling.

thanks Jerry, do you any pictures of a 19' gull wing you can post. I always liked to look of the Sanger and was wondering why there were not more in K Racing. Seems like they were all replaced with B Boats.
They were actually called "gull Bottoms" the gull "wing" name has found it's way into internet forums from people like mouzer. lol The gull wing name belongs to the CP's and copy's of. :)
I don't have any pics of a 19 gull bottom that I'm away of. I think the gull bottom "design" was post super sanger and pre runnerbottom. Maybe just a year or two between. I would guess you could order a gull bottom in either 18 or 19.
Sangers circle boats were represented quite well especially once the circlerunner came out 74 or 75. Chuck Boyd went through at least 6 with his Sanger sponsorship alone. I'm not sure if boat bottom rules or owner preference to B boats did away with the circlerunners.
Sanger K boats.

Liberty looks shorter than 19 to me.
