Macha was a custom hull out of P. Townsend. I have no idea how many other hulls were built. Ari has the documents on the hull and could inform us. I expect few. The key to that mold was heavier displacement and deeper draft than the B. water boats, which were very underballasted and tender. The Aleueha or whatever you spell it boats are more like Macha in underbody. I think Macha is a better hull, as they also raised the sheer 6 inches in the whole boat, which makes a significant difference in interior volume, and allows for nice lines. They are all super low to the water soap dishes if you look at them.

So, all in all, Macha is more like this Alueaaaaaaaaa hull than most of which is typical of the Ingrid.
