Cool. Which step, or steps are actually aerated? I didnt realize they were done on that boat. I, for the most part, really only think of Phantom doing that.

There are 2 steps with both having an internal channel for aeration.

Split windows were built in 1963 not 1985 to early 1990s

just curious, why go through all the work of blue printing to not get it perfect? I though that was the purpose of blueprinting?
