Interestingly, Cheoy Lee also built some Rhodes-designed boats, as well as some from John Alden and others. They all have "that look".
I used to captain a 63 Cheoy Lee Motorsailor, and while at first look not the prettiest boat out there, it does grow on you after a while. And they are wicked comfy.
