The book looks great! Half of it is of our boat, in all of it's glory!

I prefer Elco

I prefer Elco

I like the day room in the Elco, but the engine room is waaaaaaaaay beter in the Higgins.

If I recall, the Higgins is faster (speed record set in Higgins)

Both boats are great though.

Why? And which one? The 77-footer or the 80-footer? Maybe the original 70-foot Scott-Paine design?
