Well I have to say I have never seen a RQ like this one. 49'?  I would like to know the history on it.  Was the aft extended or did the factory build it that way?  Was it re-powered? Looks like a modified 40' Custom orders were the norm I understand. I like the fly bridge. I thought RQ's production was halted in 1973 and this says 1974? Could it be the last known River Queen ever built? I wonder what the hull number is?

Please contact me it you have any information to the above questions...  mnw  : )   mike@mikewolfe.us
