Flying Dutchman
Re: Flying Dutchman
Not that I know of but my guess is there are still some "projects" out there...
Re: Flying Dutchman
Not that I know of... however there are still quite a few Magnum Missile 16's around in South Florida. Similar looking hulls; I wonder if Anonow had anything to do with the Dutchman?
Re: Flying Dutchman
Geoff, the Aronow Missile's hull(only) was pulled from a wooden full tunnel of that era, that was a race tunnel designed by a fellow named Shultz. Testament of this was given by an older gentleman over on Scream & Fly, that had first hand knowledge & was at the factory when it happened. The Dutchmans were concieved in Ohio & have no heritage to the Missile at all. There were quite a few full tunnel small experimental boat manufacturer start-ups back in the late 60's, early 70's. Some sold/marketed better than others. Don Aronow was pretty good at marketing what he built. He made his best money at developing boat companies & selling them, sometimes selling a company more than once, than in actually building & selling the boats themselves.
Re: Flying Dutchman
Thanks... that's some great info. I thought there may have been some Aronow provenance in the Dutchman but I was wrong. I never owned a Dutchman but did own a Missile 16' with a 150 Merc. (inline 6) One of the fastest boats in Biscayne Bay in it's day... fast then but not compared to todays standards. Yep, those were the days!
