    Ab Crosby Jr built those boats to appeal to the inboard crowd. I believe they shut down in 95 or 96.

    They have the same balsa core construction as the outboards and are a very rugged boat. There are two on our lake.

    And would it then be a displacement hull?

    It is a much different hull with a V bottom similar to the barefoot nautique. It is a planing hull.
