Interesting boats

Like the attitude of the gray aluminum.

Yes, it surely does make it an interesting boat. At only 36’, she’s pretty crammed with equipment....feels tight. Can’t recall seeing a more basic flybridge, one that even Mark would appreciate!

Besides that being a really nice, stout looking craft... what is in [disturbing] the water at portside bow?? Does not look like thruster push... unless maybe the first second of the push.

It is a thruster. They were turning.

Caught my eye somewhere else. Quite a boat.

Not much of a saloon.

 

[Nomad Willy]

Looks like an old PT boat.
Wonder if it has Packard V12’s?

More eye candy.

And now for an eye catcher!

Spent a wonderful weekend enjoy the Pocomoke river. Saw this Kadey Krogen 48 on the way up, and something caught my eye. On the way back, I took a picture.



A custom hard top. Hard to visualize all that leverage in big seas, but it's impressive. Haven't decided how I feel about it, but it did catch my eye. Here's his blogspot, which describes the fabrication.

I like it. I can't imagine you would even know that top is up there on that FD hull.

I wasn't thinking of leverage to the boat, but leverage on the two supports with no front support for the roof. Wondering how much the roof flexes going into big seas.

It looks like carbon fiber construction. Probably stronger and lighter than it appears at first glance. Looks well done.

CONTRABAND 2019 New England Boatworks. Built for a great American yachtsman to replace a previous NEB sailboat he built over 20 years ago.

Their blog states that the struture is carbon fiber and the entire thing weighs 310 lbs.

I keep going back to this one, seems like a great deal on a really cool boat. Engine room looks amazing.

Yes, impressive boat.
400 hours in 12 years on the engine and maybe less on the generators might be a little concerning.

Not everyone can use a boat as much as they like, those hours wouldn't concern me, maybe that's why he's selling, can't find the time to use it.

 

[rslifkin]

As long as there were no big periods of non-use in there, I wouldn't be too worried about those hours either. That averages out to about 33 hours / year. That's low, but depending on how the boat was used, not crazy. Just doing weekends close to home, if I went out once every weekend for a 4 month season, that could easily be only 25 hours on the engines.

Nice boat but too big for a couple plus "paid crew."

I understand that. For a boat like that, I would be concerned that it had one or two seasons after refit and then sat with little or no use.

Just an observation based on numerous dock queens owned by people with big plans that never happened.

That 8 foot draft is a non starter for us East coast fellas[emoji33]

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Mr. f. It's a steel hull. Take a run at it...

Maybe not so much...

Pretty nice boat, I assume with that draft its SD, but some low hp engines, wonder what cruise is, 9 or 10 knots maybe?

MV Discovery is passing by now. Interesting in that she is a beauty, and that maybe the Alaskan tour industry may open a bit as she is transiting north.

The draft and the sleeping accommodations would make it a non-starter for our crew, but boy, I really like the way that guy thinks on so many issues. I wonder what the catch is?

The boat looks alright, but I find reference to "A/B ratio" and the use of the term "audiogage" to be completely anachronistic. [emoji846]

OK, check out this sailboat... not a trawler. Made in 1926 and recently refit (mostly new) designed and built originally by HERRESHOFF.
Most of the boats like these don't have a decent interior...
I'm sure the 2017 refit was several million...
Now selling for under a million
originally designed built and sold for $4200

Pretty sure this one has been on the market for quite a while. BC or PNW if I remember correctly, used to be green. Neat boat for the right people.

 

[long-cours.62]

We visited this one

When the first builder/owner sold her , she was in Hull fitted with one rebuilt Gardner 8 cylinder, painted in blue with empty hull.
We like the form of the hull.

 

[MRRiley]

Yes, I believe you are correct. I was thinking of BANSHEE, listed on yacht world as a 58 ft in BC. Which is green...

Correct - I still have a 2013 copy of a listing of her, with a green hull.
