Notes:
Beginning with hull 005, standard engine was a 60 hp Izusu. From Peterson 44 mold which was also used to build the Liberty 458. Passport 45's are not associated with Passport Yachts. Peter Hoyt used the Passport export license (he was friends with Passport Yachts founder Wendell Renken) to export his yachts from Taiwan. Thank you to Larry Littlefield for information and brochure.
