Default wanting opinions and suggestions

Hello boating friends,
I have a new project I am wanting to start. I have recently acquired the Don Aronow 24 Revolution mold and planning on repairing some issues with it and slightly reshape. My concerning questions for everyone.......

1. Being a new boat builder in the industry, would trying to reuse the 24 Revolution name for the finished product offend anyone, especially since it was Don Aronow?

2. Does anyone know how many were actually made? I believe it ran from 88 or 89 to 91? I bet I'm incorrect, but looking for any info.

3. Does anyone own one that I could come look at and take pictures.

Thank you all for your time and really looking forward to this new endeavor

Neale Glass

Thank you Maritime!! I've seen the bow-rider for sale, the last one built most definitely came from the mold I have; I would like to return the transom to flat. Do you know the final production numbers?

thank you!

I would not change the transom. The Aronow cats have a very hard time getting on plane and the transom angle helps this problem because it allows for negative trim. If you made the transom flat you would have to run wedges behind the jackplates during rigging.
