+ Model Notes
Sometimes this model is referred to as MORGAN 454, NELSON-MAREK 454, MORGAN45-4, etc. Morgan model names in this size range are especially confusing and inconsistent. This model was also advertised as the MORGAN 46, even though there was another of the same name, a cruising ketch, designed by Henry Scheel and also built by Morgan Yachts.
This design was 'recycled' into a number of other models including a center cockpit version, MORGAN 43 (1985).
