Progressive Shipbuilders and Fabricators, Inc. of Houma,

Louisiana, for the Bengal Marine folks. It's their color scheme but it's our boat and a better one never cruised down the Navigational Channel into the Gulf of Mexico.

The "Spirit" is typical of Progressive's line of high quality crew boats . . . the boats that give you more extras at no extra cost such as brass piping, handcrafted Spanish cedar mould- ings, top quality Royal Naugahyde . . . and just plain all around more boat.

No other competitive crew boat matches the "Spirit" and all her sister ' ships in quality . . . the things you can't see . . . all U.S. Coast Guard approved, including

Progressive's own welding procedure, judged by the U.S. Coast Guard to be so good it has specifically certified it.

Ahead of the pace? We think so. We think that once you see, handle, inspect a Progressive Crew Boat . . . and talk to the experienced boat people who run the show and do the work . . . you'll agree. Progressive boats stand out in any fleet . . . why not yours?

You too can get in the "spirit of '81" by calling, writing or wiring us today!
