    I own a Bob Perry designed Iona 30. I spoke with Bob back in the 80's and he gave me some information on the boat. The boat was designed originally for a company called Bystedt. When Bystedt went under, they sold the molds to Iona.

    Bystedt originally had 29 and 31 foot versions. The LOA for the Iona 30 is 29' 11-3/4. It appears that Iona added 3/4" and called it a 30. I've had the boat for about 20 years and have never met anyone who has a similiar boat.

    Are there any Iona 30 owners or Bystedt owners out there?

    My first question to anyone who owns an Iona 30 or Bystedt 29 - with a bilge that is barely two and a half inches deep, does anyone have a reasonable automatic or manual bilge pump that can fit that depth?
