In the few years I have been on this forum, I don't believe I have seen anyone provide info on the 56'. How many of those hulls did they make? When I looked at the 56 in CT it seemed to have the same hull as the 50', but stretched. I am quite happy with the ride of my 50'. The 56' also had the beautiful fit and finish of their other boats, but I, personally didn't like the way they had changed the look of the house and bridge. Keep us "posted" on what you find.
