I wonder if carbon fiber material cost could drop way down if used as a staple building material for boats... car and truck too?? Probably not.

So where the head and shower and holding tank, galley and berthing spaces?
I agree, it has to be either a tender or a shuttle or maybe even a tour boat. Personally, for a tour boat, the seats are oriented incorrectly.

Saw on someone's blog. Cool boat. Check out the dinghy stowage arrangement, though!

I saw this boat at The Marina at Ortega Landing last week. A German couple, their kids and another friend were docking her there. Although it looks like a Dashew superficially, the owner said she was from New Zealand and that he bought her in Europe. the bow from a distance appears to have a reverse rake, an axe bow, but once you get up close its more plumb.

It is a Fales Navigator 32. They were clones of the Willard Horizon 30 and built on the East Coast. They were 2' longer than the original design.
Willard built many utility boats for the US Navy, but this was purely a recreational trawler design.

I think that is, IF you elect to keep the crew of 1. Sounds like a good investment.

Given the boat is advertised on an Australian site,$25AUD is about 1004 pesos pw,4350 p/calendar month. To illustrate,a 2 bedroom apartment in metro Manila rents at around 12000 pesos pcm, a 3 bedroom further out say 15000.
Wages are low because of lack of employment,which is why so many Filipinos(balikbayan) work overseas. Getting a proper job in Philippines usually requires knowing someone.
I`m guessing the boat employee gets "board and keep" on top of wages.

Pretty boat. Seems like a sturdy cruiser.

Looks a little light on fuel... or limited range although it only carries 80 hp John Deere.
Aluminum means no rust worries but does mean issues with corrosion and such. I assume the superstructure above the pilothouse is paravane booms?
Nice that it is dry stack and keel cooled so you have fewer hull penetrations. down here you would need A/C which it lacks but as a PNC boat looks ok.

It says there is an articulating rudder, but there are no photos of it. The Kitchen and other types of hinged rudders have always fascinated me as an aid to maneuvering single engine boats and I was hoping the broker would show it.

Oh I don’t think so. There are many, many aluminum oilfield crewboats still working hard after nearly 50 years service that are painted boats.

Still working yes but either they continually touch them up and repaint or they don't care about bubbles and corrosion.
I'm guessing in the oil industry their is no shortage of money sloshing around to throw at the problem.
