That was the 2nd boat deck from the mold on 38th st. The first one was Billie McDonalds "Impossible Dream" also started with wood and then 1st glass deck built by Nick Chapman and son and of course Cortez helped with that.
"Dream" sold to NJ developer Ed Simms and found new home in Brigentine "Rum Point Pub" under the bridge and was named "Rum Runner" Sandys 1st boat was all wood.

What I did not understand is if in this photo was a new boat or just the same hull that nearly sank in 1973 but with a deck changed and the sides cutted.

.................................................. ........................................We have that exact boat , its a Xk Chriscraft , its for sale , $ 3,500. i think the boss wants for it , its been sitting , but i think its turn key + go ., Cool looking early Chris., What i like is that Copper Kettle seems never to touch the water, If only that was true .Arm Bruises!
