It sure looks luxurious below deck. Look at that galley!

Exact-ish! I'm guessing the 1923 model didn't come stock with hand-wheel operated water-tight doors and a stainless-steel microwave oven! Lovely processing on this set.

Or Harken 2 and 3 speed winches, Loran and radar...but those are all Coast Guard requirements these days...
