[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]...interesting hull shape on this trawler listed for sale..

1991 Offshore Trawler Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com


[/FONT]

I know this boat we visited her long time ago when she was for sale in Hull (England) by the former builder/owner.
At this moment the boat was, blue, empty, just some thing in wheelhouse, and the big rebuilt Gardner 8 cylinder, and the lateral door still the same one .
But the first owner put a big amount of ...concrete under the floor of the forward cabin ...And concrete in steel boat it is a big mistake
We hesitate to buy her, and finally don't.
I am not a designer but when I look the bottom it seams be to "flat" and may be it make chock at sea. Unfortunately we have not the photos taken at this moment but we just (may be )remember her original name : OBERON
 
Last photo of our girl bottom

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo

Here are some photos from the survey of my new "Trawler":rofl: around Thanksgiving. Pretty old-school with a deep forefoot, lots of flair and a good amount of deadrise aft. Pretty fast, good in the rougher stuff and dry, but, thirsty. The recessed tabs are large and really effective and the close-quarters handling is superb.

Day and night difference from my previous trawler, Boomarang. I'm pretty happy so far :D

long-cours.62,
Looks kike you've got two rudders aft w the prop well fwd.
Interesting anchor. Looks like a Danforth put isn't .. I think.
Your windows on the side of your cabin look like a trawler/cruiser that was fairly heavily advertised about 8 years ago.

No mainly for economic $$$$ reasons we have just one ruder; like old displacement yachts had and it work.
The anchor is a "Britany" 90 kgs with 120 m of 14mm chain (to long but it was cheaper to buy one length of 120 m than 100 m :facepalm:)

May be it was our on the advertise , we got customer, he want the boat , he agree with the price...for very minor detail we refuse to sell to him (may be we love too much our baby :)) Because from the first drawing we made up to now ..it is 24 years of our life !
 
The past summer during bottom work .

I twinge seeing so many boats with unprotected propellers and shafts. Hopefully, they only operate in deep and debris-free waters.
 
Haul out for survey.

I own her for 2years now. Did allot of work on her. You should see my posts in my.. improving and maintaining albin 33 tread
 
I finally found the picture. Note the strap location. There be the center of gravity and the weight of the engines.

Very nice SD Albin. Don't think I've seen pics of the bottom of a larger Albin before. I can see the shape of your hull in my i-pad but not on my big i-Mac. Below the WL it's just black on the i-Mac. It's very close to FD.

Nice attention to detail re your trailing edge of the keel. Much cleaner than most.
 
My 30' Willard bottom.

Nice bottom, Willy. Also like the keel-protected propeller and large rudder. I've got same. :)

Bijou-- round bottom, but fairly flat stern. Big rudder.
 
Dude,
Wish I could see your rudder better. Just looks like a black blob on my i-pad. Black bottoms don't show much shape .. low on definition. But I'll say your rudder does indeed look big. Bigger than mine but I suspect the black image is misleading.
Actually you probably took the pics w a phone. That would explain some.
 
Eric,

Yeah those are terrible pics. They are from the survey. Here is a profile pic with the rudder shown better. The rudder is big but not as big as that pic showed.

Oh yes I see,
Wonderful rudder and bottom. And the swimstep is used to extend the WL. And on a FD hull any WL extension is golden. Actually I think you're rudder is bigger than mine. And IMO you have plenty of prop protection too. What a great boat!
 
Well I scrolled the whole thread and didn't see any mainships! Not as pretty as some other bubble butt on here but here's a couple from our haulout (almost ready to splash!!!:thumb:)
