Help me with the brand of a boat from my youth. Older Fiberglass Cruiser

[CaryW]

Hi all, I am trying to remember a brand name for a really strange looking late 60's or early 70's cruiser. The boat did not have a standard pilothouse/cabin, but instead the bow was twice as high as on a normal cruiser and large windows went all the way to the bow. The boats were a two tone blue and really strange looking. It seems like the looked very narrow for the height and I also seem to remember that the logo/brand name was inside a life ring.

I would guess this was a 27/28ft boat. I remember seeing more than one in my lifetime so it was not a one-off boat.

I just cant seem to find the right terms to find one on google.

Thanks

Crap, they're here! Someone here has a resto thread on one (not much of a thread though as I recall), but I can't remember the darn name either!! Hopefully someone has a better memory than me. I do know what you're talking about though. :facepalm:

Kinda' sounds a little like a SilverLine Antigua - and someone is working on one: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=404287&page=1

But the logo doesn't fit your description.

Strange looking but I am thinking of a bit bigger boat. Maybe I will try my hand at MSpaint and describe it better.

Ok, dont laugh too hard. The red line is a profile of a "normal" cruiser. On this boat the roof of the cabin extended all the way to the end point of the bow with windows all the way to the end.

Very tall and narrow. I seem to remember it was supposed to be trailerable and offshore capable.

Ok, someobody on another board says there is one around Atlanta in a boatyard. He is gonna try to get pics or details.

If you ever saw one of these, you wouldnt forget.

That's cool! It looks like it makes very good use of deck and cabin space.
