Not at Shooters in Ft Lauderdale during her prime, "gin" pole Or do you mean that's what it took for the pole to be purposely used?

are those rudders or trim tabs off the transom?

That is an old Huckins.
Those are externally, transom mounted rudders.

No bare breasted women in the pic of the huckins boat? I doubt Frank would approve of such a mundane photo showcasing his product.

Thats the end of a long era. Next thing you know huckins will have a plant in hong kong and will look like carvers. Although doing away with the extreme shallow cockpit and massive freeboard aft wouldn't be bad.
