2 nice Classic Burgers

I used to drool over those when I was a kid, looking through my Dad's Motorboating & Sailing magazine classifieds.

Thanks for posting MYL. Growing up on the docks of Bahia Mar, I spent my free-time sketching Burgers and Browards. Little did I know it would take me down the path of building digital docks.

My experience is limited to a 1982 72' Broward. It was not a great sea boat. It had a round bilge hull with stabs. With a good breeze, it would heel like a sailboat. Burger's were always better built boats even though they shared similar naval architecture. If you're running up and down the ditch, a Broward will serve you well. They are often less costly to acquire, but you'll likely pay for it later. If I was choosing between the two, hands down a Burger!

Somewhere on this site there is a quote from you that went something like
" Don't be a coward, set out in a Broward "
Which I think of & chuckle every time I see one !

The 63 was painted Kingston Grey when she was MEDORA.

Yes! Her names since "Medora" are "Little Princess" "Sunshine" "Lady Katie" "Mandalay II" and now "Skylark" Her current owner is an experienced yachtsman. Under his stewardship she has returned to Bristol condition.

The big one looks pretty Hargrave style. Like it for some reason...
Feels like a ship.

S&S and Hargrave designed boats for Burger to build for some time. It was as if there were two different companies named Burger. S&S with the pilot house aft, hard chines, sleek lines. Hargrave pushed the wheel house forward, soft chines, full displacement yet no snap st sea as the Hatteras fleet provided. Likely the fulcrum point was lower with the metal boats featuring lower freeboard, too.

I grew up aboard a 65 S&S Burger built with a cockpit. I've often thought about adding one to the current Hargrave. Longer water line, double the fuel hold, access water and docking with greater ease. Who knows what the future holds here...

Anywhere I go, whatever marina or anchorage, my eye always finds the classic lines around me...

Here is one of my favourite old Burger's that I took through the Welland Canal for fourteen years
She came from Florida to Lake Michigan and return every year.
1999 - 2000 Lady Madelyn
2001 - 2012 Go Fourth
1978 Burger 91'
This just one of the many Burger's I have taken through the canal she is now in Vancouver Canada

IMHO:
One sexy Burger 80

That was Blue Lady back in the 70's. Cockpit was built with the vessel by Burger, and the lines were superb.
