Interesting boats

The thing I noticed is the smoking exhaust!

and the A/C stuck in the door way.

9'6" of draft though...

One would hope that when they did the conversion from fishboat back in '99, the added a few tons of concrete ballast. These boats were designed to carry a lot of weight at full load and still be seaworthy in some very bad seas and if correctly ballasted and loaded, so could this one. She would still have all that windage though. I wonder how she lays to anchor in a breeze?

Interesting in that it had me chortling, gagging, snickering, and shaking my head the whole video. Pretty exceptional in it's complete lack of balance in design elements, like someone cut & pasted a bunch of magazine article photos together.

Then again, someone loved it enough to make it...

Kudos to the broker, Parker, who sold her! They say there is a buyer for every boat, but this one was a real needle in a haystack and he found it.

Lol that reminds me of those caricatures they would draw of people in malls.

May it bring you many happy hours on the water.

Me 4.
looks like she a lot of space for just 36ft.

It is a great looking boat but something about that profile makes it look like a cartoon,
Tommy Tugboat.

Gotta love those wide angle camera lens too. Broker love to 'cheat' with those lens. They can make
3feet look like 5feet. When there are no people in the pictures, suspect a wide angle lens.

Here are the specs.

Re the CG boat post 5 this page ...
Interesting that the aft end is concave. Most boats are convex. Her cheeks are almost pointed they are so sharp and well defined. It looks like this boat is destined for slow speeds 98% of the time. I really don’t know what to think. Hmmmm

From that angle, it reminds me of the rear of a Seabright skiff with the tunnel hull in the rear to protect the rudder and prop. It also allows for shallow draft and the rear raises when power is applied instead of squating.

In the case of the large CG vessel, the rear would have more swoop up and she may carry two engines and props. I didn't catch the specs on it.

Surprisingly, these Rescue Minors can run around 20mph in 6 inches of water because the rear lifts instead of squats. From what I've read, they are surprisingly easy to build for the handy man. I haven't had a go at one yet. May be a retirement project. Oh wait.

Remember the Leviathan II? It has less weight aloft, yet still overturned with loss of lives.

5 dead, 1 missing after whale watching vessel sinks off Tofino, B.C. | CBC News

How does a breaking wave flip a boat that size..?

 

[GFC]

The boat had 27 people on board. If all of them moved to one side of the boat to spot a whale, that in itself could capsize the boat. Add a beam wave from the opposite side of the boat and that could also make it happen.

At least in the article there was no mention of everyone going to one side, witness testimony would have highlighted that fact...so taking that out of the equation, in normal sea conditions, should a boat of that size flip over ? I have heard of rouge waves but it doesn’t sound like anyone mentioned an unusually high wave..seems odd .

I am genuinely curious and surprised that a boat that size can flip without severe weather, overloaded, or a rouge wave..

He has very classic designs. I think his lower hull form influence came from Higgins landing craft. They had a V forefoot with a tunnel hull aft and a barge on top. Very cleaver boat design.

oops....double post

 

[Benthic2]

We were out yesterday in Sarasot Harbor and took a tour through the mooring field. I’ve seen this boat from downtown but could never get close enough for a photo until yesterday. It’s a cat hull, but outside of that, duh! Cantilever davits?!

Corinthian catamarans is made down in that area. It could be one of their hulls with a homemade cabin on top

Search the forum for "Leviathan" and look for posts by Tad Roberts and you'll get some well founded insight into what may have gone wrong.

Welcome aboard Vivante. She was not on the market long.
There is another IG36 member in Tasmania. Plus 2 in Sydney,one in Brisbane. You could research the TF Manufacturers section for the Halvorsen/IG subsection, lots of info there. Feel free to share any queries, someone should be able to help(or commiserate). Your Cummins engines are not a common install but I think, a fortunate find.

Thanks, here’s what I got out of Tad and the reports...just because something floats, doesn’t mean it’s stable...what a shame...The original boat before conversion was low and lean..

At least that one looks right though it still has a bit more cabin up front for my liking.
Ours has a bit more cabin down aft for my liking, well she doesn't really, she just needs an extra 10 ft.

Today coming into Lake Union (Seattle).

There go my good friends Dave & Emma on their Fishboat conversion Midnight Sun. I can't think of anything on that boat that isn't done Right.
Original build was 1938, fished until 2001, when Dave bought her. Spent about 5 years on the conversion, with obviously successful results.
She is attending the Seattle Yacht Club opening day on Saturday, so just touring till then. Then back to Vancouver for our own Royal Vancouver Yacht Club opening day the following Saturday.

It looked like a fishing/trawling boat, but so good I figured it must have started life as is. A conversion after all, very attractive too.

Hi,

A fine classic tug, looks like a nice mint.

Absolutely stunning. I love everything about it.

What boat is this?

Out last week in one of the canals off Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, spotted this vessel. At first I noticed the awnings over the portlights, thinking, "how perfect for the south Florida sun."

The tiny awnings appeared to be fiberglass, but I cannot be certain.

Then as we passed by the boat I became more intrigued with the rest of the boat. A sugar scoop stern on a trawler. Is she a motor sailor without the mast?

Anyone have any idea what brand of boat this might be?

Schucker I think. I don't remember them having a sugar scoop stern though.

 

[Art]

Nice boat. Awnings work well for shade intended... I'm sure. May be a bit of shin knocker when walking to bow.

 

[OldDan1943]

This is a sail boat conversation or perhaps a de-masted motor sailer. Look at photo 1 and 2. You can see the mast rigging tie-ins on the side hull.
Also explains the sugar-scoop too.

 

[Donsan]

My guess would be Morgan or Catalina.
