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.

day.

The Formula 23' design by Don Aronow? Used boats going back to 1967 can
commonly be found for sale. The same boat is being produced today as the
Abemarle 24'.

I might be a little fuzzy on the history but the original Ray Hunt / Bertram
Moppie design first ran the Miami to Nassau race in 1960 and surely was
produced as the Bertram 31 for well over 20 years.

In the boats I have owned category here is a boat that I personally owned
that was a 1968 model:

The same hull was produced by Angler through the late 1980's

and another Ray Hunt design, the 13' Boston Whaler. I owned a 1963 but the
design was introduced in 1958 I believe. Still made today.

Twenty years doesn't seem to be all that uncommon for a production run.

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.
