Unreal boat...Fexas was known to make some very kind remarks about Hargraves lines, esp. the 53'.
Tom Fexas had a formula for boat use:
The use of the boat = function of your distance from your boat x the inverse of the length of the season. The farther you are from your boat and the shorter the season, the more you use it. He came up with this formula, when he hardly used his own boat, that sat in front of his house in Florida in a canal. Once he moved the boat farther away to the north, into a shorter season, he seemed to use it more.
I can only wish you the very best of boating seasons!!!

Re: New Sweet Melissa!
Gentlemen, I cannot tell you what it means to me to hear your kind words and to have your support. From what I understand, Hargrave and Fexas had great respect for one another and they were both educated at Westlawn. In fact, Westlawn still uses this boat in some of it's ads to attract new design talent.
Okay, pictures:
