All the trawler you could want for 50K

Who was it that was looking for a sub-50K trawler to live aboard? This one looks like it has all you could want...even a spare head in the pilothouse. Maybe the stuff in the closet comes with it.

They broke the number 1 rule of boat construction......used a framing square.

I would call it a POS but that would be too much of a understatement.

Do we approve of the dingy and anchor? Not sure how chain it has.

And another cutie under 50!

That has the wrong steadying sail.

There is a boat in the mooring field here in Stuart that makes that boat look absolutely curvaceous. I'll try to get a pic and post it soon, if of course it doesn't run off in terror and the sight of my camera.

Good-gawd, is that a hinge setup on the galley island?!

Sadly that hull has a respectable sheer. Too bad it's suffering with a packing crate house.

Sorry - I wasn't put off by the antique electronics or even the corrosion in the engine room, but when I see fuzzy toilet seat covers it's always - NO DEAL!

Yep, I believe it is. Can't see the name in your photo, but it's Mariners Dream.

Easy there, I like that one! She has a certain sturdy appeal.

WTH is that, Larry, a prototype for the Manatee before they invented the curve?

I like the toilet sitting right out in the TV room. Add a mirror over the sofa and you don't have to miss a second of your favorite TV show while you go.

Great idea for those not planning to have guests aboard.

The broker wrote "beautiful custom woodwork", then failed to include any pics of it.

That thing is AWESOME!!!!!

Sorry, I prefer a boat where one can singlehand by having the helmsman's position close to dock level, not seven feet above.

One can see better from that enclosed flybridge ...

The view is great from a deck-level pilothouse. (Still, four eyes are better than two.)

But one of you is stuffed.

Yes, it's best if one isn't stuffed.

The original cottage on a boat hull is priced well for all that living space. The motor room and what looks like abundant rust comes with the package very scary. If you put it in a slip or on a hook it makes a spacious live aboard. It does not meet my standards for marine art unless one intendeds a shock effect.

At first glance, I though it was Duct Tape!

(Gawd, we're a tough crowd of boat snobs)

The galley hinges up providing a place for the toilet when guests are expected.

there was a fellow at Sabine Pass Tx. that fancied himself a boat carpenter. He had a 65 foot very narrow sailboat hull that he was attempting to finish. I had the misfortune to witness some of his atrocities, such as using studwalls made from white pine instead of bulkheads and screwing it together with metal Simson Strong Ties and steel deck screws, residential type carpentry. He put a house on it that was absolutely straight and square, with square windows and. The running joke at the marina was that some folks like a wheel house, some like a pilot house, but Art likes an outhouse. But hearsay is that it was a half million dollar boat

That just gives credence to the Cajun mantra regarding the Sabine River. "Y'all got coonass's on one side and dumbasses on dotha"

Hey now Sailor of F....I RESEMBLE THAT COMMENT....err...I mean....I RESENT THAT COMMENT!!!

Kulas...do you have pictures??? I'd like to "pass my eye over dat".

Misspelling of Buddha seems appropriate. Or was it intentional?
