Default What's the record for longest production of a boat model?

I think 20 years of producing the same model of my 22' C-Dory must
rank up there pretty high. Just wondering... anyone know of a longer
production run for a recreational power boat?

Stur-Dee Dories, in production as the same basic boat since 1947. When the
founded switched to fiberglass, he used the wood boats as molds.
My father sold these boats at his store from the late 1940s through the
early 1970s.

The CL16s have been in production since the 1950s and still going strong.
Originally a fiberglass version of the then wooden Wayfarers, they were
first manufactured in Nova Scotia...moving to Ontario under new ownership.
For $10k Canadian you can still buy a brand spanking new copy today.
