Hi Michael,
I wounder if you could shed some light about this boat I own.
What I do know is that it was built in 1976 by the Performer Boat Co at 4600 SW 44th Street Fortlauderdale FL.
It is approxamatly 28' long and 9'8" wide. Has twin 300HP Crusader engines which are not original, judgeing by their latter manifacture dates and also that rear engine covers have been cut in half to allow for motor height. Also has Volvo stern drives which appear to be what it was built with as no alterations in hull could be seen during recent refit.
I was told differing stories that either your dad designed this for Performer or even that he owned the company at some time?. I have also been told that Bill Elswick owned the company who was a offshore and NASCAR racer?
The hull appears to resemble very closly a Donzi 28 of the mid 60's era.
I would appreciate any information on its history as it is a great boat full of character, right down to the original yellow fur cabin lining.
