Counting the salon as a "cabin" is a manufacturer's puffing or a broker not familiar with the manufacturer.

All,

Well actually Uniflite did build a "Tri-Cabin Cruiser" in 1966. I have one (and the a copy of the original brochure). This boat has only one helm (like an express cruiser) but an aft cabin with a 3.5' cockpit. This is indeed a rare boat so it's not surprising that others don't know about it. From conversations with previous workers at Uniflite they only built 5 or so of this model. So far in all of my travels around the PNW I have not seen any others like it.

Regards,

RBCooper
