From book titled "Ed Monk and the Tradition of Classic Boats" by Bet Oliver; page 63:
"Our old 33-foot bridge-deck cruiser is a small part of a saga about six men with moderate incomes who wanted to go cruising on Puget Sound, but couldn't afford a luxury yacht. They didn't have the kind of credit at the bank to whip in there and borrow the money, so they did the next best thing: They bootlegged the design from the guy who bought the original plans.
"The six shipyard workers set out to find a boat builder who they could work alongside, to save some money on labor costs. They found their boat-builder in Gus Swanson of Shelton, Washington (then in his 80s) who agreed to supply the basic materials for the hulls for $1,950 apiece.
Gus said they could work with him to do the finishing and they could take care of their own mechanical work.
"Even at that low price, the six men had to cut costs in other ways. As a result of their money saving methods, one of the would-be yachtsmen and his sons launched a successful boatbuilding business. The others? Well, let's just say they had more fun than a barrel of Monks!
