I'm new to this forum, having found it in the course of tracking down a pitiful looking derelict hull. I congratulate you all on the community you have here and I must say the Ariel seems to be a fine boat in all respects.
Anyway, I was visiting Daufuskie Island (off of Hilton Head, SC) last weekend and came across the hull pictured below. Sorry about the image quality - my camera ran out of battery and all I had left was my cell phone.
The only identifying mark was a bronze medallion that said "Pearson, Bristol, Rhode Island, USA" and the serial number 389 in the center. Also, it was last registered in Georgia in 1993, registration number: GA 6001 ZA. After doing some research I think I have identified it as a Pearson Ariel.
Can anyone back me up on this? Does anyone have a record of this hull number? Finally, and most important, is this worth trying to resurrect?
