bought this pic on Ebay. Had to.

back side

I find so little information about Performer boats I had to buy it . it says from 1955 chicago boat show . this was an actual press photo . The boat looks like a prototype maybe for the Tropicana? I wanted to share with every one . maybe an addition to the library.

Great picture. Hope the historians can put it in the Performer section in the library.

The 58 19’ cruiser appears to have similar styling.

Very cool looking and probably was very expensive to produce.

I would like to see more pictures of this boat. Nice twin Mercs too. Looks like she has beautiful lines and the wind screen is similar to the Glasspar Avalon with the goggles. Also known as the the ‘Zombie Boat’
