So there are a couple of "one of a kind" Arltra-Lites around? As far as I know I have the only D/E Mod Arltra_Lite. I know that it is the first one because he told me that he'd never built a DMH when I ordered it and he cut DMH 001 into the transom. I know that he made more than one FE/SE boat so I don't think there's anything unique about my FE/SE hydro.

David; -I knew what u were talkin about,
I was just 'yankin' your chain a bit, sorry

Other than the CSH 'mold' boats, [and there were many one off CSHs] all of Matts boats were 'panel' boats, or 'one-offs'.
I am not sure of the D boats, but I was of the opinion that your FEH was the biggest hydro he had ever built, as he was lamenting when we loaded it, that too much carbon fibre had gone into it. Maybe he built another one, but who has it?

We are hi'jacking this thread. Maybe Matt deserves a thread of his own. At one time, Hull #13, I knew where every one of his boats were.

Didn't Kevin Fitzgerald get a FEH too?

[QUOTE=Ron Hill;73455]"Ted Jones Craft Inc. brochure" but weren't these boats built by Ron Jones?

Ron; -I have always looked up to you, and valued your opinion, cause you 'turn' about a week ahead of me.
I have been 65 for two days now, and coming out
of the fog nicely.
Chilean Carmenere.....

So, whats it like after a week or so?

Here is 3pgs of this Jones brochure.
No mention of Ron, but I do know in the 60s
he/I exchanged letters about a 280.
No dates in the pamphlet,
but must be mid/late '50s

And, could that be Art Luders he addresses on the 1st page?
