I saw this last week in Fort Lauderdale and I think it is a Trawler?
I don’t want to sound mean, but this is not the most aesthetically pleasing boat I’ve ever seen. Seems like a few more windows are in order.

The Roberts boat is obviously a home built, no professional would build such a slab sided cabin IMHO. What exactly is the resale value of a backyard boat compared to a similar boatyard built custom? Are there many buyers for a boat that was the first and only build by an amatuer builder and does the price reflect the uncertainty of the build quality?
Marty jere's one very similar.
Been on TF several times.
Pic was taken by me in Ketchikan AK about 10 years ago.

Hey CarDude, since you like Bruce Roberts designs, how about this one? 2006 Roberts Long Range Cruiser 650 Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
It was up on the Chesapeake for years doing nothing but floating and finally sold. Apparently the guy that bought it has it back up on the market again. Good question is why? From what I know, it's a stable boat. It has protected TRAC stabilizers (kind of like bilge keeps / roll chocks, etc. It also has protected running gear as well.
Has this Diesel Duck shown up in this thread yet? Intersting modifications;

This one has been for sale forever it seems. The interior is a little “funky”’with that bed in the salon, no?
I think I saw it on the hard somewhere near the Ortona lock.
I have decided that I need to upgrade my tender...
Ho, ho, ho, Grapple hooks away!!!

This looks interesting. Note reference to "pilot boat hull" and the boat having been imported from Guernsey UK. Muscular looking boat in some pics, would make a nice trawler, except the saloon is tiny for boat size. Mattress on the forward berth looks to have taken a hammering.https://yachthub.com/list/boats-for...ceptionally-well-built-sport-fisherman/211240
