Noah, I see that your boat is a Hinckley. This boat that is up for auction is supposed to be a 43 Hinckley. Is that the same as yours?

Certainly could be wrong here but I don't think Hinckley built any 43' LOA boats in wood. Closest to this length would be the Naval Academy Yawls, (44' LOA) the Blue Water Class 28, (40ish" LOA) a couple 32's (45' LOA) and the Owens 40 Cutters. It would be interesting to find out exactly what this boat is.

Thanks Noah. I can't say whether the E-bay boat is a 43 Hinckley. I did find several references to a 43 Hinckley on the web, but alas no photos. It looks like it would be a fun project, but as stated in the other thread my wife has already stated that I have already spent my bonus money. :(
