Thanks Mark.

I took a look on boats.com and yes, there are a few. I then realized that I had forgotten some things, the shorter versions were not too far off.

They have a 301' that looks to be a real "salty" design: dual inboard diesels, trunk cabin and a generally low frill, no nonsense example of probably pretty good build quality and non-stop functionality. A 30' boat 25' yrs old no-nonsense designed boat still pulling $60-80 grand must have some credibility.

They also made/make a small personal "tug" design and a harbor taxi style boat 0f about 21'. I have been on the 21' taxi models a number of times and it is a boat that is designed for what it does and does its job very well. It is a full deep displacement hull that basically DOES NOT rock when you step into it from a boat on a mooring or from a dock for a ride back out to a moored boat.

I was a bit off on the lnth/beam ratio, but hey, so I am sorry.

Post some pics of your project. I'm sure many would find it interesting to monitor any quality boat refurb and we'd learn something, I'm sure we could learn a thing or three from how another manufacturer did things.

Good luck.
