Chris,

Just a guess, but I think that the boat for sale is actually Feng Shui. To
the best of my knowledge there was only one boat built to that design.

Cheoy Lee did build a 47' 'glass trawler to a design by William Garden. This
was quite a distinctive design as it had a flush deck over the aft cabin.
When I was searching for my boat (2003) there was a fully restored and
repowered one for sale on the east coast.
