Tom. Thanks for the info. I can work backwards on the owners. I bought her from a gentleman (72)
in Onset Ma,in Sept 2020 (name Chasing Sunshine). He had her for less than a year. He decided living on a boat wasn’t for him. He purchased her from a gentleman(80) that loved her for 9 years in Narragansett Bay RI. ( name Drued) All he did was send money on her ( bow thruster, remodeled galley, varnished complete inside of boat, flybridge enclosure) He told me he got from a 81yo that he had for about 8 or 10 years on Shelter Island Ny. That covers about 20 years of her 43 year life.
It would be interesting to hear how she ended up on the east coast.
Thanks Again Bart Gaugh

I’m the fourth owner of mine, after a pilot and two commercial captains. I had the pleasure of getting to know Bobby the last one, he and his wife are fantastic folks. They made me a platter of fried soft shell crabs to make sandwiches with on the way back, as well as breakfast for days. Just could not ask for nicer people. Prior to that I know the guy was a pilot who wrote a self-published mystery novel involving the boat. I know nothing of the first owner other than what he did for a living. Anyone who knows anything I’d love to hear it.
Me and my boat are the same age we were both launched in 1981. The boat has held up significantly better.

This is the boat in the June 1997 issue of Motorboating & Sailing. This family were the third owners of her. The second owner bought her from my grandpa's estate in 1991. The second owner was from Chicago and used her on the Great Lakes in the summer and Florida in the winter.
