    Hi Guys,

    First I would like to introduce myself to you.

    Being a 27 year old productdesigner from the Netherlands, I'm fascinated by the designs of (some) US products of the 50's / 60's. Designs from Raymond Loewy etc.

    That's why I am looking for a boat like the L.A. County Lifeguards use or have used in the past.

    Could anyone help me with a brandname, manufacturer of product range or other information (displacement, engine etc) of a boat like this:

    I'm not sure if this is the most classic one, but I would be very grateful if someone could help me with data of this boat!

    Also where I could find a classic boat like this for sale would be appreciated!

    Thanks.. :)

    Hello Rob,

    Can't help with your question. I just wanted to say hi, and welcome you to the forum.

    Love your country's abilities with steel boat construction.

    Have a good day. Someone will almost certainly help with the info you seek.

    Tim

    Thanks Tim,

    I've worked on some designs for a 120ft Heesen Yacht. All aluminium hull and deck. Now it's time to get my own boat since I live in a nice water recreational area.

    I've put the question in the design topic as well, I hope to get some response.

    I've found already about the Carolina style, but it's not that exactly what I look for.
