Most often called the WATKINS 33. See WATKINS 33 for more details.
A modified version of the WATKINS 32 (which, in turn, derived from the COLUMBIA 32). The transom was changed from nearly vertical to a more reversed style as well as a number of changes to the interior.
AKA TRISS 600.
From manufacturers brochure.
A majority were sold as kits/unfinished hulls and interior details can vary significantly.
At least one was finished as a pilothouse cruiser.
A less than reliable estimate is that approximately 40 were built.
