6,200 gals -: 4500 miles = 0.73 mpg (1.377 gal per mi) at 10 knots hull speed. = 450 hrs travel = 18.75 24/7 days. Not too shabby... just think of the range if only traveling at 6 to 8 knots.
Just use plenty of Clorox on fish tanks before departure!

Yeah, the Queen. I circled her twice while she was waiting for a bridge opening on the ICW and collected about a dozen photos from every angle before dropping my camera into the water.

I am glad that someone has spent the boat bucks to keep her in great condition!

Taconite is gorgeous. Watching her dock using those direct reversing engines is a treat. Just watching her steam by, blowing smoke rings, is also a treat.
I hope he finds a buyer willing to keep her in BC. Would be sad to lose her.

I'd dearly love to take the attributes of the Queen and shrink it to a manageable, workable size for my own cruising. Of course, there would still be the bright-work, but what a looker it would be, minus the bowsprit.

Wow, nice photo shopping. I wonder would the horn have to go toot-toot instead of TOOOT!!!.

Well, OK, yeah, but my coastal cruising would include a lot of low clearance bridges, etc.. I'd love the look but not the inconvenience.
Can'g get a fine photo of this Monk to print... follow the link...

What great lines! In my younger days I'd dream of owning something like that. But I'm wiser now and know what a wooden boat of that vintage means. I think the last line in the ad says it all:
I do hope she finds a good home with an owner energetic enough, rich enough or foolish enough to keep her in good condition.

the ouch part is that after spending $800k updating it, they still moved on to another boat. I guess $800k is cost of doing business...

Those are not windows. They are arrow slots.
Can't you basically buy a brand new Nordy or Krogen for $800k? What owner would honestly invest that much money into a boat that size? I wonder how accurate or honest a lot of these boat brokers are, or if they proof read the specs they print which are coming out of seller's mouths.

I'm thinking $80K not $800K ... dam zeros

...or the price of making ego rather than logic driven choices.
I read the brochure and the $800K figure is mentioned multiple times. The oddity is that for all that money, he left the original Lehmans in and without even a rebuild. Although they do list them at 1302 hours. For a 1986 boat, that is about 45 hours per year. Kind of hard to believe. Why spend that kind of money when there is not a snowball's chance in Miami of ever getting even 1/4 of it back?
