Are there any 35 ft Conquests in the US left?

I often wondered if that bottom was of Malestrom descent. Good looking ride Justin. |

I found some pics of me standing next to it on its tilt tralier the other day. I gotta scan them in. I look about 12 years old in the pics, so it was probably close to 20 years ago. |

Brownie?

Construction was started on this one before Copelands was started. The Aluminum ones had a shorter build time.
Gentry purchased this boat. |
