Notes

A number of different boats from a number of builders (at least into the mid 1980's) have shared origins with this particular design.
"T" for Trailerable ? It was recycled as the CORONADO 23-2. Other versions include the CHARGER 23, CORSAIR 23, LANCER 25.
Another version from the original molds or a copy was built by Bayliner, US Yachts, and Pearson Yachts.
