  Old memory cells stirring to life ... I *think* that this was
likely built in Ann Arbor, MI in the 1980s(?). The design was
"adapted" from a commercial boat (could be the Lettmann) . You got a
price break if you participated in the building process. If this *is*
what I think it is, I know who the designer/builder was (but won't
post it on an open news group) ... he has a degree in Naval
Architecture.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
