Stillcrazy,
Please copy me on any pictures you have. I have the old sales brochures but would like anything else. E-mail is [email protected].
No doubt you worked on my 1987 26' hull #719. Does everyone at the plant work on a boat from start to finish or do certain people only do certain work ie. glass, rigging, interior, wiring?
KN,
We were out this weekend in Lake Ontario and crossed a twenty five mile stretch to Niagara. lots of wind, and chop. With two kids on board you appreciate the freeboard the 26 has and the strength that is built into the boat.

Sutphen plant
Sutphil
Thanks for your interest in Richies place.He is a small custom boat builder and in the days that I worked there we had two locations near each other.One was the glass plant and these employees laid up all parts for the the boat.You will be happy to know that the same people that made the 40's made your 26! From the glass shop the parts came to the finish shop where they were assembled by the finish crew.Wiring,engine setting,drives,bilge layout always same people .Attachments,deck,bulkheads etc could be cross over skill same with interiors except "teak" in your era which was a cabinetmaker. Remember Sutphens were custom made ,the highest production was 36 in a year.Got more if anyone is interested.

Stillcrazy,
Keep it coming, tell us more. I also have a 20' that was built in 88. Were there any built in Florida after that? What was the most power put in a 20 and what is the top end for that hull?

Hey Sutphil back in the late 80. Stuphen made a 20' with twin merc' 2.4 it did over 100. A guy in Ct owned it for several years used it in Long Island sound. Last I knew of the boat it was in MA. The motors where set up on set back brackets.
