    A great picture, the hull on this particular model seems to have a little something extra.  I am not so keen on this model of wheelhouse.  It seems to lean forward where most others when steaming would be leaning back a little. How did it work with these boats would the buyer get to design exactly what he wanted or did they get to pick from a choice of hulls and wheelhouses?  Could you have a 62Ft boat or a 56 foot boat or did they come in standard sizes pre designed by Nobles.  A great run of photos.  Miss seeing the old ringers.  Keep them coming!!   O0
