Cardude01, PO is a great guy indeed, Vietnam vet (including the Tet Offensive), former FBI, accomplished mariner with both sail and trawler time under his belt, gentleman extraordinaire, lots of tales to regale with!

Thanks Bill, I love the Ducks!

Juggerknot, you got that right, it's a great layout, efficient and practical

Mickand, ah ah! I was in your shoes when I joined the forum a few years ago, hence my handle CanadianDuckDreamer, hang in there, at least in my case the dream became reality much faster than I expected!... :-)

Stubones99, sure, just don't call her Ugly Duckling!... :-) Regarding inside headroom, I would say 6 to 7 feet throughout, including in the stand up Engine Room, a very unique feature compared to lower deck heads found in many yachts.

Reelalure, thanks for the kind words and good wishes, a great boat indeed!

DCDC, thanks for the kind words, that was me that came in after you, sorry that I have to sell as she is a great boat indeed. But happy that you are happy with Stella, have a great Christmas day!

Moparharn, thanks for the note, hard to let go of a boat like this indeed. At any rate, hope your having a great Christmas day!

Sunchaser, thanks for your remarks, she is in exceptionally great shape indeed. Regarding the "FB top", are you referring to the cover over the cockpit? The canvas cover was replaced with a fiber glass hard top in 2017. Cheers!

Sunchaser, pics were taken in September 2020, just before we put her into winter storage. What you see there is indeed what you will get as the boat has barely aged, alternating between the fresh water of the Great Lakes and indoor climate-controlled winter storage for the past 10 years.

Pete, it does have all the necessities for a comfortable life on board with all of the necessary safety features. Great work by Bill Kimley and the Sea Horse team to build upon George Buhler's original design to exploit creatively the space available to fit in everything needed.

Indeed had the privilege of dealing with George Buhler through several email exchanges and a few phone calls while I was still debating whether to order a new build or buy an existing Diesel Dock. Smart guy and a character alright! :-) RIP.

The Diesel Ducks are made to last indeed, solid ocean-going trawlers with beautiful finish and all the necessary comforts for a live-aboard, I love them!

Diesel Duck 38-2 Jubilee is now in climate-controlled winter storage in Michigan but will be ready to splash in the spring, ideally positioned to commence the loop down the Mississippi, the Great Lakes to the St.Lawrence River, or the Erie Canal/Hudson River, etc. Also ready in all respect to...

Hippocampus, are you familiar with the Diesel Ducks trawlers built by Seahorse Marine? Great boats for the loop and ocean passage, I have one in Lake Michigan that will soon go on sale. Let me send more details via message, cheers!

I have one in Lake Michigan that may be of interest to you. I just PM'd you, you can also reach me at hugues_canuel@yahoo.ca
