New 2 River,
Galaxie has not changed their name.Their new 25'ECM is a spioff,Earnhardt Custom Marine.Same company but for those who wants open water applications.The hull is a Carlson design,through-bolted completely and hand laid.The back end has a 496HO,Dana tabs,ext steering,through-hull exhaust.The interior has drop out seats and most of the engine hardware is customized including a gelcoated hatch and diamond plated engine compartment.If you want more info you can contact Jim or Jason at their new facility 805 477-0777.Their new address is 4869 McGrath #110 Ventura,Ca.I believe their right off the 101 and the 126.Also,the boat will be at the LA Boat Show.Hope this helps.

RiverDave:
The boat that my family had before the Nordic was a 1976 21' Galaxie Day Cruiser. (Bought New)
To dispell the rumor, not "all" of Galaxie's were Chopper Gun boats. (This one was laid up by hand) The boat was bought from Worth Potts (Pretty sure his name was Worth).
Through my teens I put that boat through it's paces pretty hard, and I can say that the day we sold it, it didn't have one stress crack in it.
The hull was a splash off of a Hawaiian or something (can't remember now) but it was similar to a "Daytona" day cruiser. (Little different Bow)
Overall though we ran the shit out of that boat for over 20 years and never had any problems with it.
Now Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a "todays" Galaxie is anywhere near what some of the higher price boats are (becuase I don't expect they are), but I'll tell ya that the old one we had was a pretty decent boat. (I woulda traded it for a Spectra/Howard/Hallett in a heartbeat though )
RD Was was the name of that boat rd?i remeber you calle dit something wink
