I seem to remember that those 110 foot cutters were a disaster from the start in the mid fifties. I think that they were originally designed to be a little longer but someone decided to chop a few feet off. The result was problems all over including engine cooling. Anyone know anything more about that?

Don’t know about the 110’s but they cut about 33 feet off the stern of the 378’s which is why they throw such awesome rooster tails -that’s power wasted because the screws are to close to the stern to guide the water back.
