Although the Novi boats are NOT...
Considered "Downeast" boats. They are "Novi" Boats. There are differences, such as the Novis like to haul from the starboard stern quadrant unlike the Downeasters. also the boats usually don't have a trunk cabin. If they do it is very low profile. They have flairing bows with little forefoot to the hull. And all the hulls have "rocker" to them, which help the boat preform in a following sea. You have to remember it is always blowing 20 knots up there so these bost are great in heavy seas. My friends' Dad has a 42 Provincial -- the boat is a BEAST!
