GL: Albin Vs Marine Trader Vs HerShine

[Tedpluspatlarson@aol.com]

In 1980's Albins and HerShines plus other Trawlers,... Jeffersons etc. were 
built in the HerShine Boatyards of Tiawan. These are American Brand-names with 
many similarities in Hulls and Woodwork. Our Canadian boat is branded as   a 
38' HerShine 1988 and is very close in details to Albin 36 and 38. HerShine did 
make a 41' Sundeck Model in 1988 and was at the Toronto Boat Show in 1988 
along side of our 38'. This boat yard may have made others such as Marine Trader, 
Monks and Oceanics also? Depending on the company (brandname) ordering the 
boats for sale back in the US, the quality of the detailing, engines, hardware, 
masts, rudders, etc. was different, but hulls and layout were much the 
same.....
