Notes:
This same yacht, but with a diesel inboard, was called the BUCCANEER 245. It is thought that the hull for the BUCCANEER 200, 210, 240, and 245 all derive from the COLUMBIA T-23.
The number of windows (above and below the sheer line) doesn't appear to always be consistent for a particular model.
