Appears to be a Beebe-inspired, Ostlund-designed passagemaker in steel with a Gardner. Advertised info leaves some...gaps, though. https://www.bananabeltboats.com/boa...g-range-trawler-anacortes-washington-7263138/

Got a name for that puppy?
Hull wise (without the keel) it looks very much like a larger version of our Necky Tofino double sea kayak, which when fully loaded and most of the weight is below the waterline has amazing seakeeping capabilities.

Many years ago, maybe 1973 or 74, I was privileged to see Tlinglit up close. I didn't realize it had an Easthope. It was fairly speedy and had almost no wake. I think Mr Garden was in it and yes, I recall it was specifically to commute to one of the little gulf islands in all conditions. I had no idea who William Garden was at that time.33ft Blakely Boat by Nathan Smith

Never seen one w/o a flue cap on top.

That’s damn cool, IMO. Might need some storm boards for those big windows tho maybe if headed to Hawaii or out wherever in the open ocean?
What’s the second wheel for at the helm? Variable pitch prop?
My thoughts on her is though the overall design and some of the mechanical appears to be for a serious passagemaker, much of the finish works against that mission. Maybe the salon windows are of thick glass securely bedded. Maybe not.
Some of the photos were obviously taken when she was on the hard. So why no hull pics below the waterline? Why no tank capacities? And yes the second wheel. I believe the lever below it might be the control for the hydraulic bow thruster. Maybe.
Maybe I'll call and ask![]()

Boat marketing. [emoji848]
MJM uses outboards or Volvos, last time I looked at them...
It is an interesting boat. Keel looks a little funny, but it does house a centerboard.
Here's a bunch of build pictures and another video from the builder.

This boat is pretty interesting but not one I would go to sea in and absolutely one I would never trust under water!!

I am quite concerned about how the I/O would perform underwater!!
Greetings,
I was very surprised at the apparent speed of the "boat" in the film clip.
