Some design history I stumbled upon on this site while I was searching on here for pics of my dads old 26 Monza

Awesome information guys! I really appreciate it. The historical background of boating as we know it today is so different and captivating. Don’t get me wrong, today’s boats and technology are awesome, but hand built boats by craftsmen and carpenters, old school engineers and metalworkers, fiberglass and paint specialists, all seam so much more valuable from a time and effort perspective. I am a finish carpenter and cabinet maker by trade, so I guess maybe I’m biased.

While I continue my education on fiberglass and construction methods, I hope you all keep helping with the history and identification portion! I love seeing the old pics, ads, brochures, and especially the stories from years gone by.

much appreciated, and keep it going!

There is a name I have not herd in a while.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...28333e96f9.jpg

Wow. Those Novas are awesome. The lines, especially with the windshield, almost remind me of the Chris Craft Sportsman 30; a classic Ray Hunt design. Very cool. I’m getting super sidetracked...

The 25 Magnum has a lot more flare in the bow area and a larger radius at the stem. Closest design that is over all similar is the 24 Cigarette.

this one in the pic was docked right next too my parasail boat in Naples Florida back in the day so I was able to really check it out.

It's been said that the Mag 25 and the Cig 24 are the same hull and I believe that if you take the area above of the character line out of the equation they probably are the same . With the pic above of the dark blue Monza it almost looks to me as if they trimmed down the height a bit in the area above the character line in the forward 3 feet or so of the hull . That could impact on the amount of perceived flare in the forward section of the hull . The communication with Brownie posted above is all nice but bear in mind that the title of that was 'Info on old 1969 Monza 19' , a 26-28 was mentioned but nowhere was it said who actually designed it .
