i've heard of 'em, in fact my registration mistakenly lists my saltare as a beast.

this is my guess, i've seen one.....the original sunsport/launch design was taken from the beast. it looked like it was just shorter than 20 feet long and really sturdy. open bow with teak rails, everything looked rock solid like the difference between a checker cab and a regular cab. tall, thick gunnels and a high freeboard.

definitely worth taking a look at, a real head turner if you're into older models.
