Interesting boats

[Hamrow]

Still - I wouldn't be buying the Tronheim 40. That is one ugly boat! The 30 is a little better looking. I'm open to new technology, but still a traditionalist when it comes to looks.

It reminds me of an Azimut Magellano, especially the 30'
.

Trondheim 40'

Steel hull, Class A-Ocean, Ice Class B, 2500 nautical mile range, 925 gallons fuel, electric hybrid, 2 Torqeedo Deep Blue motors for 160hp.

Interesting to see if it'll ever 'get off the ground'. As of January this year a shipyard in the Netherlands has supposedly been contracted for the first to be built.

Interesting looking 40'er. Stats mention 2500 miles on 925 gallons... which = 2.7 nmpg. Didn't read 10% reserve? Also don't recall seeing speed of travel. Maybe I'm incorrect... but isn't 2.7 nmpg not as nearly efficient as other boats at below hull speed and in same size/weight category?

Heck... our 1977 twin screw Tolly gets just about 2.5 nmpg at below hull speed and on one engine only going well below hull speed she approaches 3 nmpg.

One caught by my beloved wife during a trip in Chicago last week. I love these boat, please owners don't take it wrong but positive, but they look like boats from cartoons

Greetings,
Mr. L_t. That's a Florida Bay Coaster if I remember correctly...I was on a smaller one once and from what I recall, VERY nice.

 

[Steve]

We were guests for lunch on one years ago, it was very nice, like being in a house. I understand they are good coastal cruisers too.

Mr RTF indeed it is a Florida Bay Coaster, not exactly sure but somewhere like 50 feeter. I never been on one but looks really nice. Looking inside it is like a house! And when I wrote looks like coming from a cartoon I mean really cute

Interesting trawler I saw a while back while sailing around the California Channel Islands

Does this barge make my tug look small?

Looks rough inside for a 2005 boat ??? Is it a home build ??

 

[Nomad Willy]

Why does an interesting boat need to be so big?

But topsail that boat actually is a bit interesting. And Larry re that boat you posted what's so interesting about it? Looks like it's very light for the type but other than that ... and the old anchors .... being fat is the interesting part. Like the guy couldn't afford much moorage so he made it fat .. and short.

But just seeing pics of boats is grand. And trawlers are getting close to cookie cutter boats but then there's a Florida Coaster .. and other really interesting boats. I'm sure glad we have 4000 pics of interesting boats. Hard to find a boat not interesting.

Small? I can't get by the "tall".

Maybe you're right. I just thought at only 45 ft. and a catamaran-like 22 ft. beam was pretty amazing for a recreational trawler. I suppose I've always found "big" to be interesting, though when I think about it, no more interesting than any other unusual combo thrown together.

 

[Sailor of Fortune]

Lighten up Eric, just because its not interesting to you, doesn't mean its not to others. I think the Apple island IS interesting...and I've seen some of the others built on that hull.

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Re: Apple Island boat. I happen to know the builder. His business specialized in the building and refurbishing of commercial fishing vessels. He was approached by the first buyer to build a recreational vessel based on a proven commercial design. As I recall, in conversation with Wade Goulden (owner of Apple Island), interior finish was chosen by the original buyer and was secondary to the ability to cruise for distance in less than ideal sea conditions. Wade was a commercial fisherman for 25+ years and I expect he DID have some appreciation for the design, beam aside.

 

[Nomad Willy]

HaHa Sailor of Fortune the boats in you're avatar look similar to the Apple. And if I lightened up I'd sound like a politician.

Many commercial boats should NOT be emulated. Some evolve into bad design as a result of a law. Like the Bristol Bay boats in Alaska that are/were limited to 30'. Serious gross atrocities resulted. Don't assume that because fishermen or commercial guys do or use this or that it's golden. Consider that fishermen use anchors that we pleasure boaters consider poor or worse.

... Consider that fishermen use anchors that we pleasure boaters consider poor or worse.

Little doubt fishermen consider cost versus benefit.

Professor Eric! Lesson in life!!

I've gleaned a few from him too. Smart fellow that teacher, Eric

Larry, you and I are good students!

Teach on Eric... Teach ON!!!

 

[Pack Mule]

This is the first one of these I've ever seen for sale.
Beam is 15 ft and no fly bridge.

I find this boat interesting because of the extreme LOA/Beam. Doesn't mean I like or agree/disagree with it. I wouldn't want that beam, but I do find it interesting. I certainly was not making a case for, or against it or other commercial boats. I tend to like commercial workboats and conversions but don't think all are worthy .

 

[Benthic2]

It looks like the Ranger 27 went from 200hp inboard Volvo to a 300 hp outboard Yamaha

 

[Nomad Willy]

Some say it's a trawler.

 

[Benthic2]

I'm kind of curious why they switched to an outboard, and why they felt the need to add 50% more horsepower. I suppose its probably still economical at 8-10 knots.... it just seems like a strange direction .....is a 300hp outboard less expensive than a 200hp diesel inboard ? ...or if it was about saving money I'd think an inboard gasser would have been cheaper....I just don't get it.
