Another Mystery Boat

Readers, there’s another mystery boat out there. We got the following letter from Steve Fisher.

Any guesses as to the origins of this ’80s-looking boat?

I have a boat that I bought a few months ago, which came with a new California-issued CF number. I was going to scrap it for the lead, but I just can’t do it. It’s just too darn pretty. It was sold to me as a Gary Mull 30, but I’m not sure. It’s maybe an early-’80s Dione 98, and goes by the name of White Lightning. I think it was in the East Bay somewhere before going upriver to Napa.

If one of your readers could help me find an old owner who might even have old paperwork, it would be much appreciated.
