Time to build another one Mike. It's a disease, and I know you have the bug (me too).

T.J.,I here Wayne Beal's shop is getting rebuilt.....I would love to buy one of his 46 footers stretched to 50 x 19....I would live on that..lol

It is a very nice hull. I never understood why you do not see more; owners keep them a long time or few were built. I did a look up on Midcoast and saw a sale pending for a 45 in RI. That was the only one.

What is difference between it and other boats, excluding hard chine WESMAC, the same length?

That must have taken up some space on the ferry.

Tash,I got the impression that the owner of MDI didn't really care for building boats....he was a lobstermen....the hull is very similar to the 46 Jarvis Newman...which Steve Wessel owned..so maybe it has some similarities also .....here is a picture of Steve Wessel's 46 Misty Lynn
