Yup, we still giggle sometimes sipping hot drinks in a warm & dry pilothouse mere steps away from the head and a bed already made. However, we'd probably still be kayaking if my wife's shoulder hadn't got wrecked in a car accident.

If it was in aud I'd be tempted

Greetings,
I'm trying to figure out how girls sit differently than boys. Different women in WA???

Yes, it is a bit big size wise for me ( and too far away), as I am in Australia, but it's an old ticker. One issue would be spares for the old diesel.

Some girls don't; they like to sit with legs spread. They usually are in the "red light" district. Wink, wink!!

Why would anybody say their boat is beachable, then have no photos of it sitting on a beach???

...after further sleuthing...because it has stubby bilge keels. Hardly up for the job except for hard sand beaches, and even then, you'd have to get something under the fins to keep them from knifing into the beach:

6" thick hull... overall...???
I believe weight would preclude travel efficiency.
6" thick at keel to hull, transom to bottom or stem to prow sounds more in line with the way I've seen boats constructed. 1.5" for 2" thick hull is cannon-ball proof!! But, 6"???

We’ve only known eachother for 12years.
That’s enough for me.
My issue w the boat is that the space right above the pottie is just too narrow to suite me.
There I said it w/o mentioning girls.

It has an outer skin 1.5" thick, then 3" of foam, then an inner skin of 1.5" thick. That's obviously very strong but is not as strong as you think. Zopilote had a 1.5" thick hull (roughly) and it sank on its final leg around the world hitting an even-thicker rock off Alaska.

Notice I said "... cannon-ball proof!!" Not "... even-thicker rock..." proof! LOL
Thanks for description of what made-up the 6" thick hull.

There was a similar boat bought by a TF member. I`m having trouble finding his posts, but look at this : http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s23/halvorsen-42-sale-35876.html.
He posted lots of pics at purchase,was excited about the boat. Later he posted of his disappointment after discovering structural rot due to poor sealing of fittings, stating he would not recommend buying an IG.
I don`t think we worked out who built the boat. From memory it was not Jiang Hua who build Integrity and somehow secured the IG moulds. I do not think later IGs were built by the "Kong & Halvorsen" partnership which originally built boats so branded. All I can say is tread carefully and survey carefully.
A wander through the Halvorsen/IG Builders Section of the site may be rewarding.
What Year, I was traveling around Asia in 1987...backpacking, Hard Seat, Friendship Stores...6 months..

Check this one out guys. A deluxe, luxury trawler look with a planing hull and twin diesels, but is that a built-in 60 Yamaha O/B get home engine with a walk-around swim platform? Talk about ease of maintenance. Someone help me believe my eyes!

WOW Larry - That's quite an Aluminum boat! Thanks for showing the link.
400 hp twin Volvo diesels, nearly 1 nmpg at 27 knots... top end of 31 knots. With a good sized get home o/b in walk around swim step! It's basically a large version of my 34' Tolly - On Jumped-Up Steroids!!
Gotta wonder why have a gasoline o/b taking up so much swimstep room when there are two diesel twins aboard?? Also...what happens to handling in a following sea; or, a confused sea? And... outdrives in water all the time?? - That one scares me regarding corrosion and lastability.
For s&g... Video at 2 min 48 seconds shows 48' Tollycraft out the rear window. LOL

Nice. I wonder if it will still plane after we load it up with 2000 of necessary stuff.
I can't see maintaining the 2 inboards with that deck plate access.
But, a nice looking well equiped boat.

The only practical use for the optional outboard is for fishing. You'd need a lot more than the specified 15 gallons of gas for it to reasonably serve as a get-home. I've been on a few of their boats and they are really nice.
