Here's the same boat de-flybridged and cleaned of clutter. I lifted the sagging canvas a bit and lightened the rails on the boat deck. Vessels with long lines like this one look better when those accents are kept clean. She could be a real beauty.

If you have white coated lifelines, consider (when the time comes) replacing them with dyneema line. Gray in color so less obtrusive, and not being coated SS, they won’t have hidden rust issues.

The boat would look 100% better without that fly-bridge and Bimini.
Of course, I still like the look of it as is. If I had unlimited funds, it would be a great boat to own. Otherwise, I’m happy to admire and critique it from a safe distance. ;-)

That is only because no one notices your SS railings through the glare off the bright yellow PH roof. ;-)

Really wonder if the sail does anything other than steadying. Also wonder if there is ballast. Kind of looks like a Great Harbour N37 with a mast. There must be something dreadfully wrong with a 2014 47' steel boat for $65K and power by a JD 4045 to boot. Might be worth a flyer for cheap lodging in Costa Rica.

What tha hell? Yeah that seems too cheap. Not super fancy, but pretty damn cool IMO. She probably rolls pretty much just looking and WAG, so that steady sail is a big plus. However, it’s just a jib so it might not do all that much. My jib does help slow the roll if the waves are not too bad, but if big and directly on the beam the main needs to be unfurled as well, and I need at least 10-15 knots of wind.
Sure like that JD engine!

seems like its super cheap because of personal problems rather than boat problems.. Its an interesting boat for sure. I would want to know who designed it. It may be in the listing but I only skimmed it.

"personal problems" = got the woman pregnant and she hates boats?

Look at Art’s pic in post #13.
Railings don’t overpower or distract.

Oh yea. "Everyone put on your PFD we are going for a free carnival ride.
We are having some fun now, eh?"
For bluewater cruising, a boat is likely outfitted on deck with a number of accessory items. I carried an extra dinghy & outboard, liferaft, 2 fullsize bikes, at least 2 if not 3 gas cans & heaven knows what else. Once met an interest catamaran from Canada, the Eh Team, in Mexico. They carried a motorcycle on deck.
VERY interesting boat, & even though it meets none of criteria (life is like that), she is such a proper nautical lady & resides in the next village, so I think we may have to pay her a respectful visit.

Declutter? Declutter? I must be crazy as a bed bug.
I have a 34 ft one stateroom/ one head boat and the 5th person just moved on board for a few days, at least.
I'm sure happy to have a sense of humor and a big bottle of wine.

you guys are harsh...
Here's some tasty crow for you in the news article.
He's been up and down the inside passage five times. This is second boat he's built. And he did it all with one leg after stepping on a mine in Vietnam.
I don't think this guy scares that easy...

Good sleuthing.
Maybe he just reached the end of ‘The Dream’
I was rope soloing halfway up Klahanie Crack beside Shannon Falls in Squamish when the thought came to me, “I think I’ve about scratched this itch”. So I down climbed out of it and pretty much quit climbing then and there.

Sometimes it a matter of relativity. I tried climbing a rock wall while on a cruise ship in 2012. I didn't get very high, but then I was the only great-mother of 4 (then) that even gave the wall a try that day. I used the same reasoning a few years later when on a visit to Machu Picchu. The tour bus stopped so we could hike around a lake high in the Andes, & not surprisingly I was the last one back to the bus. My trek had been enjoyable, & I know for a fact I was the only great-grandmother of 5 (now) who'd even started the hike. Good enough--heck no, much better.

Damn, that guy is impressive. He probably didn’t have a lot of time to post on forums while building his boat. Old school bad ass...Respect.

I did not intend to be harsh. SMILE Just tease him a big.
If I remember correctly, he use 1 inch plate below the water line. With that kind of weight, I doubt if he is worried about much ballast nor putting a hole in the boat.
I do hope he had LOTS of time to enjoy this boat and he chooses the next owner carefully.
Retiring from boating will happen to all of us and then, we have to find something else to fill our time. Boaters are not the type of people who sit around and do nothing.
I wish him a long life, filled with more interesting times.

Optical Illusion!
No, this boat isn't out of the 1930s. It isn't even a woody. Well, at least if you can believe the listing broker. With a beam of 9' 2", she almost qualifies as a trailerable ....err transportable trawler. Sadly, she will require way too much varnishing unless you are a true glutton for punishment. Really nice looking boat though.

Did I overlook the engine room photos? I saw a driveline, which I assume means that the engine is forward for balance... Likely to be noisy and lots of vibration underway. Also, 90 gallons of fuel? It is a fast running (3600rpm) yanmar engine so there will be more noise than a slower running diesel.
Wow... Beautiful Boat!
However, several design items/features that place certain use restrictions.
Would make great "commuter" craft for wealthy person desiring water transport across NY or SF bays.
Bet her thin self slips through the water like a knife. Would love to see her bottom on the hard... as well as her wake while underway at cruise and WOT!
