Hi all,
i found this BW for sale, but I can't find any picture with the same equipment, do you think it is an old or limited version or is customized?

Looks like an Eastport to me.

Here's the link to compare.

That is a classic Sakonnet made from 1971 to 1975 that has its windshield modified by having the side lites reversed to it slopes backwards instead of forward; an unfortunate modification.

A simple wooden bench has been added to the stern though it is not an Eastport stern seat, and swim steps have been added to a hull that has no backing for the installation of them.

Th motor is mounted 3/4" to 1-1/2" too low on the transom and it is overpowered by 15 HP.

Still, it looks like a nice boat and the unfortunate modifications could be corrected.

Wow, nothing like putting some weight on those steps and ripping the transom apart. Only foam under there.

The windsheild has been mounted upside down.
