In 1976 the Tri-Cabin Flybrige model came into production known as the Tri-Fly model 360, V drive configuration.

1978 - 1979 the production of Tri Cabin 440 and the Tri Fly 360 were moved to the Lancaster, PA plant. The teak decks were replaced with a all fiberglass deck.

The 440 became the 361 and the engines were moved from the aft state room to under the salon becoming a straight drive boat.
