    Schiada Info

    I have a few questions on Schiada's. Anyone have old sales brochures they could post? Does anyone know approximate production numbers of each model? I know they are custom boats but would be interesting to know approximately how many are out there. What are the visual differences between a...

Something leaning towards the bench-seat vintage flatty era, as opposed to the radical two-seater blast beast. I already have a fast enough Hallet Vector, but like I said, I'm...

    Who new? Schiada 24

    Hustled down on-ramp to 5 South today; perfect timing to see this beaut. Likely coming from Teague? Still in rigging process. Capped. Pics don't show it well, but that is more a red than burgundy. Classic look. Fantastic boat. Anyone know more about this build?
