Greetings,
Not interested BUT any guesstimates of what one might go for? Are we talking $10K or $100K?
 
Depends. Would you like one, two, or all five?
 
I think it would be a fun project if you’ve got money to throw at it.
What do 400 hp diesels cost these days, 50 / 60 grand each?
100K to make an interior and paint? A little more?
I’m thinking you shouldn’t pay a lot more than the price of the aluminum for the hull.
Could work out nicely.
 
They have been for sale for many months,advertised on Boats and Harbors. I can't remember the price but it was displayed.
 
350 gallon fuel tank with twin 450 hp engines... good luck with that.
 
What's 15,000 lbs of scrap Al worth?
 
The manufacturer is in Palmetto FL, and they made a bunch of these. Used to pass by every week or so when I lived in the area, and they seemed to always have half a dozen or more in the works. Not sure if these were built on speculation, or if an order got cancelled. Most went to the offshore oil rig companies, but I did see some outfitted for patrol vessels for various countries.
 
These setups look like patrol vessels to me. Probably cancelled,so the builder made some money on these and prior boats.
 
I'm actually surprised that some of the smaller Pilot associations with protected water routes haven't gobbled them up.
