The firstest and bestest with a distinctive design (Carolina bow flare and a very slight tumble home at the stern) built of the finest materials by real craftsmen. They were built for the tough waters of North Carolina and developed a reputation for being a great fishing machine, smooth riding and very stable boats. They used to make smaller versions, but now they start at 55 foot I think - their first boat was a 41 footer. Always wanted one - never owned one. |

Now I suppose something lse I was thinking of was that I wonder why nobody really tried to push for their market. "Lincoln v. Caddie" type idea. Or did somebody try to topple them but decided that the money was actually in the masses? |

When I saw a Hat for the first time that was the obvious part I noticed was the "Carolina bow flare" and that laid back "Eldorado Caddie" look. I thought it was a beautiful design. Not only aesthetically smart, but just as functional too. |
