Interesting boats

What makes you think "heavy seas" are going to incline the hull if a jeep in calm water fails to.

Maybe read up or watch a video on inclining test.

Whether you have no weight added regarding hull incline produced from a Jeep or from any superstructure at all... in other words employing a strictly bare hull... the heavy beam wave would by its lonesome incline the hull. Whereas calm water would not. Therefore transverse stability in regard to calm water affecting boat hull heel in comparison to heavy beam sea affecting boat hull heel is like comparing apples to oranges.

I saw the FL Bay Coasters and been on board one about 20 years ago. Very nicely finished.
I too have wondered why they dont tip over.....
I have yet to hear or read about one going turtle so there must be something special in the design. For some reason, it stays glued to the water, right side up.
I guess I should have bought one 20 years ago. SIGH
Of course finding a berth for one may prove a bit difficult with that beam.

If someone would please direct me to the stability video.

If I am looking at the same thing, I don’t believe that is electrical conduit. It appears to be fiber reinforced flexible plastic water pipes.

These bits, highlighted in red, look to be either rubbing or unsupported. If they're going to go through all that, well, shame to leave the last percentage poorly done.

 

[wkearney99]

Nice tender, so where's the crapper and shower?

The anchor contraption, yeah, good luck with that staying in working order. It doesn't even seem to be able to deploy the anchor without likely smacking the hull. Retrieving is unlikely to be better, but you'd at least get to practice MOB drills when someone tries to stand up there to clean it during the process!

Pretty boat otherwise. Not what I'd choose though.

It's the wrong anchor anyway!

Makes sense actually. These are coastal boats so owners likely never see rough open waters. I suppose it could make a Miami Bimini crossing on the same day as all those jet skis and inflatables run the Stream.

The boat is specifically designed to an SOR and as long as it’s operated within those parameters it should be fine.

2019? Sure didn't take long to tire of that toy!

Saw a number of mega yachts on our Juneau to Ketchikan tour. First is the 163 foot Westport Chasing daylight, first pictured at Aku Marina, then in Tracy Arm. The 295 foot 180mm DreAMBoat was in Tracy Arm as well. Yes those are Arthur Blanks initials. Quite impressive up close and in its element.

I wonder if anyone will inquire about what made the boat "once famous"?

I think the word the broker was reaching for was infamous.

Or perhaps haunted.

I think this is a well done conversion. I could spend weeks on a boat like this. I may even be able to do the Loop on it. I would unfortunately have to do more marina hopping for provisions than I'd like too. It can even sail pretty well too.

Interesting yes, but you still need to sit outside to steer. Kind of reduces the usefulness of a pilot house?

 

[OldDan1943]

ben2go, perhaps a 12vt chest fridge on the aft deck? Where to put the galley and the head bucket? Cockpit shower?

I remember that. While I would buy a Ferrari GTO that a French olympian skier died in, I think 20 deaths is a bit extreme.

 

[Alaskaflyer]

Goodness. For me, if interested I’d certainly want to move it out of the area.

I don't understand why at a minimum they wouldn't change the name and appearance. Perhaps there is a museum of death and accidents that could stage it. They finally located James Dean's Porsche transaxle and it sold for stupid money. Of course his fame is what someone paid premium for.

Famous because it appeared in 2 films and then when it sank, great loss of life.

Needs a bit more interior wood on the walls to make it look like a classic.
No pictures of the engine room
I guess one of the engine is a 'get home' because the horse power is different???

 

[Alaskaflyer]

I like her. If she were only a little bigger I’d be all over it. Well, a little cheaper too

Yes, description lists a get home engine.

Separate shaft?
Looking at the windless and the on deck reel, there are 2 possibilities, rope anchor rode or perhaps a cable rode controlled by the hyd operated reel, bypassing the windless.

Okay, I will admit it, I am an old fart and not interested in launching and retrieving the 'fish'.
It would be so much easier to just push a button for the hyd stabilizers.

Think how much better the interior would look with tongue and groove teak on the walls.

 

[HTurner]

It you want a wood interior... have a look at this. Not a trawler, but a sailboat. Not a knob or handle in sight.

Meh, a lot of folks - my wife included - are turned off by a dark wood interior. I could take it or leave it, personally. Scratched paint is easier to fix than scratched wood finish.

I believe the windlass is at the stern and the reel is for the anchor and rode at the bow. A fair amount of stern tying in anchorages up there.

HTurner, beautiful boat but no thanks. Sail boats are too much work for me.

Nice boat to look at! Operative words "to look at"!!!

As someone struggling to figure out what I'm gonna do with all of the holes left by the defunct switches & gauges that have been hacked into my beautiful Taiwanese teak plywood over the past 42 years as I re-do my helm... I agree.

I have always been partial to the Herreshoff style interiors on sailboats. Just enough exposed wood but lots of flat easily repaired and durable surfaces. Brighter too (big deal for sailboats).

James Packer is a (?the) major shareholder in Crown Resorts which he established. It`s essentially a casino business, currently not paying dividends to shareholders and "in a spot of bother" with licensing and even some operations. It may be a "regretful" sale.

Obviously not in same $$$ category as Packer... I regret the sale of every boat I sell... for at least one second! :lol:

If the boat is tiller steered a tiller autopilot is cheap and reliable , and it holds the course after every steering change.
