Notes: When Chrysler spun off its Marine division, they formed Texas Marine International. TMI commissioned Jim Taylor to design a 37 footer, the TMI 37.  TMI closed after finishing just one boat.  That boat became the Graves 37. Later, the Graves 37 became the Starflight 38, built by Starflight Yachts of Waterloo Ontario, CAN.\nThe numbers built for either one is unknown.
