Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
One guy did actually pull a skier with a 61! That photo was taken by a friend of mine as we left the 2014 Tolly rendezvous, 1950 RPM, might have annoyed the odd sailboater... It honestly fails me to think that anyone with an ounce of taste could look at the above pic of the 65 and say its an ugly boat!
the stretched Hatt 72 was the old Kaleidoscope from FL we brought her up in 1999 I think, memory is fading, like my hairline...Last edited by exskipper; 02-20-2022 at 01:03 AM.

Can't kill the Hatt. Heavy but. Have added fuel tanks, waste tanks, etc. If it was one to refit, and, if course, wanted to invest, could make interior anything you want. Even put a trundle bed in one.

I've always liked that model. Stately. The bottom line is it's a boat well worth the agony of restoration and updating.

Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
I fell in love with the 61' Tollycraft at 12 years old after picking up the 1988 Tollycraft brochure at the Toronto in Water Boat Show that year. I still have that brochure 34 years later and my love of Tollycrafts from that era hasn't faded. About a decade later a 61' Tollycraft spent a summer at our marina and wow, what a beautiful boat.

Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
apologies for the NecroPost but thought id update- we just did a big bottom job on the 61 Tollycraft and were really surprised at her performance on the bay back to the boat shed.... 2600 hour 8V92 TA 735s the Western Canada Detroit dealer added limits to the throttle travel at 1950- she still can pull full load if these are removed. Sadly she is heading to the sales dock soon...I am linking a video of the speed run below as I didn't see anything in the rules prohibiting it... Hope you all enjoy and please let me know what you think. Best wishes!

Travelift scales were 83-86,000 lbs. She has quite a heavy teak deck aft and on bridge also a big Novurania. We saw 23 knots at slack tide on the video. The water speed is heavily dampened. The big surprise was the increase in speed after the bottom job, much more than anticipated. Used to see about a knot per hundred rpm but now we are seeing 22+ knots at just over 1900 rpm. A solid performer to be sure and and a testament to the efficiency of the Quadralift hull and detroit muscle...

Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
Am very familiar with big Tolly’s. Definitely would get my nod over a Hatteras LRC.
