Dual control, flybridge with bimini top and convertible seat-lounges. The elements are all pureArt Deco. The lights in the salon, as everywhere else in the boat, are authentic 1950s fixtures.

Originally built with the intention of adding a flybridge at a later date, Huckins installed one forthe second owner in 1964, at the same time as the salon was enclosed. The hull wascompletely fiberglassed by Huckins in 1969 and drip rail wings and dunnage boxes were alsoadded during this time. In 1985 Huckins unzipped the bottom and put on a new one,repowered the boat with her lightweight CATs, and installed a permanent bimini to the f/b.

Her most recent restoration was in 2002, and she won the spectators choice award at OceanReefs vintage weekend. Hauled for bottom job in 9/2017.

She is currently docked undercover in Jacksonville, Florida just waiting for someone whounderstands her pedigree and values her work of art.
