1981 Squadron XII 42'
 
I just bought a 42' Squadron XII. Does anyone have any information on the history or rareness of this boat? Any info would be greatly appreciated

When Don Aronow sold Cigarrette racing team he had a non compete clause that allowed him to build only 12 boats a year, hence the name Squadron 12. So there are very few of the Squadrons around. Do a search on this site.

Ok I guess this a 39 foot, # 16 hull made. Thanks for the help. Is there anyway to find the history on this particular boat. Thanks

Was that the pleasure version out of "Custom Marine Sales"?

It is a pleasure version but we got from an estate sale from an older gentleman that passed away about a year ago.
