Well Oscarvan, you're being far too civil. I'd take off my asbestos suit if not for the fact Freeebird has not chimed in yet.

Sorry I was late.

Marketing said "the customer wants a wider salon!" and the beancounters said "we're not building a new mold! 1510 or the highway" And Jack was in the middle making a 58' wide body on a 1510..... not gonna work. Finally everyone gave in, they went to 18-6 and viola the later 58 (with the side decks) was once again an aesthetic masterpiece.

Actually, the 1510 was FOR the highway, and once Hatteras moved down the road (to where there was water), the 18' beam was no longer an issue.

Crap, I knew that. Well, still blaming the bean counters. Should have moved sooner.

The Elada 85..... Interesting. Actually find it rather sexy in a strange sort of way. The big test, of course, will be if it's still cool 5, 20, 50 years from now.

Another Viking Lazzara design

Nice dinghy.

Okay, I’ll say it. I like Jim’s boat, and it’s in really nice shape... despite its shape. Then again, I like Winnebagels too.

I like the earlier Lazarra designs

I like the Gulfstar too. Saw what appeared to be a nice one that I thought might work for Robby and Brenda, but it had Perkins 540T’s. Everyone I asked said parts are pricey and hard to come by.

The first 49's had V8 Perkins. Then they went to 6v71ti's, and later to Cats. My dad bought hull number 7 which was one of the last ones with Perkins in it.

Here’s the boat. It might run forever, but my only experience with Perkins was in MF tractors from MANY years ago.
