I don't think your thread was deleted on purpose- there were problems with the board last evening, and General Discussion looked the same way; no topic and no label of last poster on the thread. I was probably inadvertantly lost while they did some maintenance on the site.
As far as Liberators go, I owned an '86 211- that thing was well built, and as twin29 said had features others could learn from. It had the largest cabin in a 21' perf boat I have seen, and that was one of the reasons I bought it.
