Elan 43?
The Elan 43 was built in the early 90''s primarily for the eastern European charter trade. You may recognize the name from snow skis which was their major business. Designed by J & J there were three interior options - - four cabin (charter), three cabin (family) and two cabin (America). Replaced in the mid nineties by the 431 just before Rob Humphries came aboard as designer and now resized as the Elan 45. They''ve tried to make some inroads on the east coast and were represented at the 2003 and ''04 Annapolis show. As far as the 1988-90 43''s are concerned they are generally regarded as a smaller (lighter) displacement version of a Beneteau; a capable coastal cruiser but suspect for any blue water work.
