Interesting boats

Precision

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.

We visited her when she was in Hull (England) may be it was in 94/95, she was empty except engine
and concrete ballast under the floor of the cabin .

I just came across this photo of a boat that I saw in FH about two years ago. Does anyone here know the designer/builder or have any details?

Pretty nice boat... but:

Cockpit steering, simply so you can see to back up?? Certainly not for sport fishing on a non sportfisher designed boat. And, a non starter for piloting in forward motion.

Flying bridge would handle those items, giving really great views, while paying close attention to avoiding flotsam.

These were designed to fit under bridges in the European canals. Narrow beam, too.

Nice looking boat but, too big for a couple. Need a paid crew.
Maybe one could interest a few Playboy Bunnies to crew?

Based on the pictures shown, it looks easily run by a couple: walk around decks, pilot house doors, straight view aft from PH.... heck, probably not all that hard to single handle. Euro boat, it appears. Not enough info overall.

Yup, wife and I ran this 55-footer with what looks like same layout.

Using posted range, fuel capacity, cruising speed, it works out to:
1.65 gph
4.25 nm/gallon . . . . Possible I suppose, but not sure how likely it is, plus

Plus, It states engine is 120 horse power, for a 6BTA 5.9 M2 . . . Wasn't aware any 6BTA's were 120 hp . . .

Also, many, if not most of the Mastervolt Whisper 3.5 Gensets are 50hz . . . if so, everything on the boat is probably also 50hz . . . . just so you know!

Lots of questions here . . . but nice layout!

Nice looking boat, have any more pics you can share?

I think it is an Ed Rutherford design built in Sydney,BC, but not built by Rutherford’s Waterline Boats.

Thank you. I should have stated that its name is "Alumination".

Ill look into Rutherford.

The "new" 2014 Mayra Steel Trawler looks like a good value with some nice equipment. Too bad no ER images. It has a "1x 25 kW – 400VAC 50Hz SERVICE GENERATOR" which stumps me. I thought EU was 220vac. This is a Turkish boat, but I assume made for EU waters.

Here’s some info. No idea if it’s current.

Perhaps it has a 406 volt 3-phase generator. If so that's wonderful, but then why waste the effort with a hydraulic thruster and windlass when it would have made more sense to go electric 3-ph as well?

The motor is misidentified. It's a 6B as there isn't a turbo.

That would be awesome from a convenience perspective! And no worries about someone flushing too much. I sometimes wish I'd had a custom tank made when I replaced mine. Could have fit something like 80 or 90 gallons instead of the 70 I have, but no off the shelf tank that big fit the space.

Nice clean, modern boat. But when I’m looking at the photos, the word “sterile” keeps popping into my head. Perhaps some color would help.

I THOUGHT that might be the case, but still, 4.25 nm/gal seems to be pretty well, let's just say "optimistic!"

Looks kind of like a planing version of the Nordhaven 43.

Abandoned ??? Or does a pump out boat visit it?

Hand pump... I'll bet cha!

Not that unrealistic. At 7 knots, my boat gets 3.5 nautical miles per gallon. Mine isn't a full displacement hull and weighs significantly more than this one. This boat is lighter and probably has a more fuel efficient hull.

No - not abandoned - we were there last weekend and there were guys on board -doing a bit of maintenance by the looks -scrubbing the hull.

I just think it has a bit of "character" makes me think it would suit Capt Jack Sparrow.
