[QUOTE=SKYCHENEY;331759I would not be afraid to own one but I don't care for the looks of the 55-63' models with the short bow and no side decks.

Minor point of correction. These boats were offered either as wide body or side deck models. I have the side deck version. Another thing to be aware of is around 1989, the window frames switched from a high quality stainless steel to a cheaper coated aluminum. Go stainless if possible. I did and 30 years on I have zero window leaks and no corroded. Bubbling or flaking frames.
