Nothing in the library and when I do a search nothing comes up. Maybe Andreas can find something. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Hello Lee,

I think your best guess is dead nuts. At only 13ft I believe those lines are identicle.

A Midwestern boat styled and built of "Glass-Steel" had to be a great opportunity in 1958. This article in the FG library on North Star Marine tells the story and defines the Glass-Steel approach to boat building.
