One of the other Ericson owners on our dock in Kingston, WA (Dick Smith) said he was a writer for Good Old Boat magazine. He says one day, "why don't we do a review of your boat?" Well, the July issue will run it. Dick and I talked about why we owned an Ericson etc and exchanged emails on what the article would say. Now he says we both will get to see what the final article says! Sure hope they say nice things as we really love our boat. Just a great boat in all respects. IMHO Ericson really got the product right in the mid 80s. Too bad they could not have continued production.
