43 ft Egg Harbor aft cabin ..Help

I have only ever seen 1 in person and only a few online for sale ever, didn't look too close to even notice that they may have been the same boat or not.

Nice layout but definitely only a handful ever made. Looking at Soldboats.com there have only been 2 different 43' aft cabin eggs ever sold since 1998.

If true, contact a surveyor and see what it does for his eyes.

Just curious, is the boat's name: Dream Catcher?

P.S.- Perhaps the company's history (1990 - 1992) is the reason for low volume production, during this time frame.

History of Egg Harbor Yacht Company, Inc

One sold in Baltimore 6 years ago or so called Over Easy. 3208 Cats, may be the same boat. Built on the S/F hull like the old Viking 44's

One sold in France last year. Doesn't seem much wrong with them at all, just a niche market.

If you are talking about Dream Catcher, it is in my marina. I can't tell you anything about the reason for low production but I can say that the boat is immaculate from the outside. I have never been inside but it also looks that way from the pics. I'm a little surprised at the engine room pics as the owner seems to be very picky with upkeep. The CATS sound good and the boat has a very distinctive sound of its own. From what I have seen, the owner mostly just goes out to a local hang out and drops the hook. We are in brackish water. Wish I could give you more info, it has been for sale for awhile.

I would take the Egg Harbor over the same vintage Carver anyday.

Im not 100% sure, so someone check me on this....


I think the Egg 43 Aft Cabin is the same boat as the Pace 43 Aft Cabin.

It is my understanding that at some point Egg, Pace, and Pacemeker were made from the same molds. And several of the models are almost identical except for the name badges.

RE Egg vs Carver: my choice would be the Egg especially in that vintage of the OP. However, I will agree that Carvers have come a long way.....

I thought Pace was a rouge copy. Was shut down because of legal issues including Flagrant copies and false name/brand recognition.

Egg Harbor/Pacemaker

From Yachtworld ad
"Egg Harbor designs were built to the highest standards of the time, catering to the more affluent and experienced boaters and During the 50's, C.P. Leek purchased the remainder of the company's stock from his partners and merged Egg Harbor with Pacemaker Yachts. By the 1960's this combined organization had become one of the largest manufactures of pleasure boats in the country!"

I think these were built on a 43' convertible hull, the 15' specs may just be incorrect info from the broker.

If you're looking at these I'd also take a look at 44 Vikings and the 12 Meter Trojan Motoryacht. Very similar layouts with proven hulls and a great following.
