I came across this boat at the show, and the guy said you designed it. Really cool, it is nice and smooth, I love the molded in look with out the rub rail. It is very retro looking

Chris,

This was a major design exercise. All convex hull and deck. No gunwale seam. No exposed fasteners or hardware. A beautiful pain-in-the-a**. We showed at Miami about 8 years ago. No graphics, no stripe, no nothing. Plain white. People would walk by, stop, and come back and feel
the boat all over. Even the nose is round. I assume that you have seen the latest one by Mike Peters. Makes this one look simple, by comparison

I was down in Lauderdale last march while they were putting the motor in the blue boat...it was pretty neat! They're built in a small shop next door to Castaline Marine. Nice guys...gave me the tour... :D :D

Great looking boat. It seems to have some Corsican attributes to it.

Styling was heavily influenced by the Corsican. How about that left-hand wheel location?

How much do those go for? have they sold a lot of them? Did you make the wooden plug? it appeared that the engine compartment had an inner liner as well? so smooth. nice work Brownie.

What is that piece of hardware right above the outdrive? It looks like it could be some kind of drive shower that sprays down on the drive. Does anybody know?
