    My father has an early 60s Built Rite boat in prestige condition. Last of its kind. All mahogany, original 90horse. Inverted type hill. I saw a couple posts here about the boat - back in 05 and 09. Anyone know anything about these boats? Nothing like this boat-it’s gorgeous.

    I know a little... I worked there in my youth. Started sweeping the floors, graduated to preliminary sanding on the sail hulls and sleds. Later even some seaworthy trials off the Santa Monica Pier.
    Please, if you have images, post them!
    My photography hobby came later in life and I have just one very poor example.
