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?

Maybe not as many, but Brockways were made in Old Saybrook CT by three
generations of Brockways. Earle who passed in 1996 was estimated to
have made about 2000 of these, his father and his grandfather both
built these skiffs since the very early 1900's. All three worked
primarily solo on the banks of the CT River. I will try to find some
articles I have, it is a real interesting story.
