i have located the previous owner of hull #106.the boat was purchased in cal. by george passano . sailed in middle tenn. ,kentucky lake, and the chesapeake bay. george is in his 80`s and decided to donate the old boat to the chesapeake bay maritime museum where i bought it and became the second owner.i am in the process of restoring her.he told me that the ratchet on the wheel steering was so worn that the marina where he kept the boat recommended the hydraulic steering and that`s how that came about. i do need a trailer.yesterday i removed the sink thru hull. still had an old gate valve.bob you are correct in saying the boat was from oxford, md.the boat has a vhf antenna on the stern but the mounting bracket is broken and i can`t seem to locate a replacement.george named the boat the hungry eye because he loved photography.thanks for any advise.
