Good morning Faithful.
My name is Eric Vincent, and I am the proud new steward of Richard Eastman's "Classic"
She is a 1974 FBC that Capt. Patrick has already blessed in the past with his craftsmanship and ingenuity.
At the moment she is powered with gas 454's, but that won't last for long.
(2) 6BTA's/300hp came with the purchase, and will start being installed this upcoming Spring.
So, please be patient, I will be needing much input from all of you.
Thank you.

Pete, i was born and raised in northern pbc, and never plan to leave this general area.
She will be fished out of stuart and/or jupiter depending on what we are doing.
At the moment, she is sitting on the hard at american custom yacht's yard.
Hope your knee is healing well.
