    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:

    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Looks like a Buehler Duck with a stack. Did you not use Buehler's plans? I looked on your website but didn't see mention of the designer. Maybe I missed it.

Nice job on the build. Good luck with the sale!

Custom Diesel Duck

Yes, it is a Buehler Duck. I bought the plans, but ended up using only the hull plans, half breadths and height above base line, and general construction type. I increased transom angle, increased hull thickness, and generally beefed up the hull structurally. Even to the point of using triaxial dynel set in epoxy on the chine for the forward 18 feet. (this was to slide down the shipping container hit at 2:00 AM ;). I added a 44 foot long 3/4" X 6" steel keel shoe dropping down to 1/2" thick on the stem. All machinery installations and interior design are mine. (Masters Degree Engineering/Registered Professional Engineer retired). More details are on "mvpelagic.com" which is best viewed on a desktop until I get some code fixed. Chase down "Full Specifications".

One of the TF regulars, MakoBuilder, has been wrestling with engine choice in a similar sized new build. What RPM and fuel consumption details have you realized for the JD 4045 with your very nice vessel?
 
46' Custom Duck

I cruise at a normal setting of 1800 rpm and a speed of 6.2 to 6.4 knots depending on how clean the hull is. Generator off, fuel consumption is about 1.6 GPH. If I'm headed out full loaded (58,000#) and low in the water I may run 1300 or 1500 RPM for a few days till I burn off some fuel weight. 1500 rpm is a definite sweet spot for long range stuff. Though I am a single chine hull, I am still considered full displacement type. My prismatic coefficient is 0.61. As far as having adequate power, here are my observations. I run a 3:1 gear with a high blade area ratio wheel. My static bollard pull is well over 2000#. Because of my draft (6'-3" half load) I run aground from time to time. I have always worked my way off, even one time off a rocky ledge where I was heeling quite a bit. Sure, I have to anticipate earlier and things take longer to happen. But I'm pretty nimble in close quarters anyway.

Opps, forgot to answer "what makes it trans-atlantic". She has the fuel, range, and seaworthyness to cross USA/Bermuda/Azores/Europe picking up fuel in the Azores. I could do the Pacific if I slowed down and got fuel in Hawaii. But I have no plans to do either. I just like having the luxury of passing on the pricey marina fuels, and having a tanker truck deliver to the boat. Its usually a 500 gallon minimum for free delivery around here. Also, my fuel fill is a 3" camlock (2"vent) so I can take fuel fast.

Dan, what a magnificent boat you've built. Bravo



Note; watch the guided tour video on his website.

Very nice boat and interior!

How has the dry stack worked with the sail? Any sooting or heat problems on the sail?

Later,
Dan
 
What a gorgeous interior!

What's the reason for those odd angled knees in the shower stall? Is that a sink behind the toilet?

There is another angled knee at the base of those stairs. Seems like a lot of trip hazards for a moving platform like a boat.

Are those covering ribs?

The larger one is covering a frame (rib). The smaller is a chase for anchor windlass hydraulic hoses that run under the sole from the ER to Shower. There is also an access hatch in the overhead of the shower but the hose fittings are tightened thru a small opening in the aft side of the windlass. Zero leakage, BTW. JIC fittings. -Dan
 
I haven't been using the sail since initial testing. Then I just rotated the exhaust outlet 90 degrees. Remember, this boat does not short tack upwind. So the mostly aft wind helps when the sail is not blocking it. I guess I could leave the clamp a little loose and rotate the exhaust to suit the situation. -Dan

Good luck on the new knee! Do your PT! :D:D:D

That is good to know about the exhaust. A single swiveling pipe would be simpler that what I was pondering. :)

Thanks,
Dan
