Sources disagree on first year, last year — left blank rather than guessed.
Carl Alberg-designed Downeast-style cruiser (Flybridge and Open versions, some commercial) introduced in the mid-1980s with about a decade of production; over 220 built, mostly flybridge. Upgraded in 1990 with a retooled flybridge. Most have the optional 200 hp Volvo diesel (about 14 knots cruise) rather than the gas engine (Soundings: 275 hp Chrysler). Over 220 built (HMY).
