The Sou’wester 34 was originally called the Sout’wester 24. The 24 probably referred to its length at the waterline, not its overall length of 34’. “Sixty-two Sou’wjest 34’s were built, the largest single design auxiliary crusing boat fleet at the time.” — The Hinckley Story (p. 39). Designed and built by Henry R. Hinckley Company

"This picture is of a prototype for a production model design by Henry Hinckley to be known as the Hinckley Sport Cruiser 30 built in 1940. Production was postponed because of the war, but it is interesting to note her lines compared to the Picnic Boat. This could have been a very popular boat had it ever gone into production." -- The Hinckley Story (p.89).
