    That is a gorgeous boat. Love the hardtop. She looks to be in Palm Beach condition. Is that a Sparkman Stephen’s or a Hargrave design? I guessing SS.

    Hargrave. 1980 vintage. She’s pretty much new except that I promised Capt Ralph that I’d never part with the old iron, so still running 12v71 so that folks know it’s me.

    Hunt’s Burger. Nice vessel. I’ve been crossing its path for many years.

    That's Medora, originally built for Richard Mellon. He loved the Hunt design and had Burger build her.

    When he sold her, she was bought by a guy from Chile who ran her for several years as VaKoMaaNo. New England Boatworks build him a very similar but larger and faster Hunt design in fiberglass that was also named VaKoMaaNo.

    Mellon bought a Stephens and refit her as the next Medora. He sold that one and was boatless for a few years, when VaKoMaaNo went up for sale, Mellon bought her and she became the last Medora.
