I am pretty sure this is a 53, the 57 has a cockpit, there were two 53's here in Grosse Pointe in the mid 1990's | |

Carl, although I'm stumped as well, here's an opportunity for the study of styling cues. Striker possibility-- a dead giveaway that she is not... is due to the reverse sheer of her foredeck; Strikers all aimed for the sky ( but her bow pulpit is Strikeresque, if I may coin a term ). Infinity--- Harry Schoell never penned a 'normal' house; this house/flybridge looks like an '80's Bertram 54... very buttoned down. Side exhausts-- early '90's Hatteras. Where are the engine room air inlets? Starting to look like a one-off homebuilt. Nav light recesses-- a Hatteras copycat. Tuna tower legs-- the forelegs are raked too far aft, while the aft legs are nearly vertical-- this practically hollers, "Homebuilt!" Finally, look at the 'riggers with their bases on the F/B, fer Gawdsake ( kinda like showing up at the Rapper's 300 Chrysler Getogether with 17-inch wheels) --- this guy's gonna get laughed out of Cat Cay. As always, and my apologies to the owner if he's reading this, just my oh-so-humble opinion. I could be wrong. |

I thought this was interesting. When I took the picture, I thought this was a Merritt. After I uploaded the image and looked again... I dunno. The hull has the sheer of a Viking and it's void of air intakes, but the deckhouse and windows are very Garlington-like. Anyhow, note the size of the captain in proportion to the boat. This was a small sportfish (the tower was barely higher than a Stanley step stool). To me, it looks like it was based on a big brother, but scaled back to fit in a suitcase. Sorry if the answer is obvious, but would like to learn more...
