yea the clarification was a little foggy on the design. I asked Brownie who designed the 26 way back in the day when I first got on this site back up. 2005. He said he didn’t know.

The bottom does have a Ton Rocker in it though. When Century sent the Ultra to Powerboat magazine with twin 365s they commented it was the worst handeling boat they had driven because of the porpoising.

The one one I ran for a summer that my brother built was a porpoise machine with twin 260s

Yep I Agree. I think their an Icon with the big windshield wings. Kinda like a 59 Caddie. I know where there is a Brownie
sitting in a field that needs a full resto with the outside running gear intact.

Think i would rather find a old well craft and cut the windshield down another 1/3 in height and build a modern back bench seat and engine hatch area like well craft did in 78 when they changed the style of windshield.

Though it does remove a lot of the functionality and room out of the cockpit

I like the Brownie boat for originality but I like what wellcraft did with them in 75 by lowering the windshield height a couple inches and introducing a little more rake into it.

Very cool boats. Great pics and info guys. I’d still like to see if you can dig up any more monza info. Cheers!

Very cool. Kind of nice putting faces with names. Interesting how the evolution of marine engineering was grown through passion and experimentation. Today , it seams, most new products are researched, developed, created, then tested in an all too quick process. I really have much respect for the people and products that are actually tested thoroughly before hitting the market. Years gone by, r&d involved a lot more hands on testing. Now, a lot of that is lost in technology.
