In November of 1947, Robert Breskovich (left), President of Pacific Boat Building Company, and Ray M. McCarty, General Manager of the company's Pleasure Boat Division were photographed while inspecting a section of the hull of a new "Holiday" aluminum cruiser. Pacific Boat intended to build about 1,000 of these boats in 1948. The two men were working hard to insure the boat would be the best of its type in both design and construction. The "Holiday" was expected to be a popular and affordable model, selling at only $2,500 (P.M.B., 1/48, p. 51).
