Notes:
The Pearson 424 (aft cockpit) and 422 (center cockpit) have the same hull with a lead keel incased in fiberglass. At the aft end of the keel the fiberglass is about 3/4 inch thick. Above that is a deep sump. That is considered the weakness in the boat which many owners have had modified.
Available as cutter or ketch.
