Interesting boats

It's already in the US. Lopez Island is in Washington State's San Juan Islands.

But I am on the east coast of FL?

Dan, last time I checked, Washington State was still part of the US. Am I perhaps mistaken in that?

Based upon their attitude, they are part of Calif.

Then you haven’t been east of the Cascades lol

Dry exhaust on the Gardner?

Might get a little hot in the ER.

Belgian Canal Boat $25,000

From the shape of the hull it looks more like a coastal boat than a canal boat.

Canal boats don't typically need steadying sail rigs and usually have broader hulls and flatter bottoms. They don't need a long fine bow either.

Thunderbird on Lake Tahoe.



More about her: https://thunderbirdtahoe.org/index.php/yacht-history

It’s always been a 60 knot boat. Not sure which would be louder, the Kermaths or the Allisons.

What ever happened to Jubilee?

Unfortunately, I don't disagree with you . . .

Only the western side, the eastern side is more Idaho!
Unfortunately the salty water is only on the West side..

Solution: regarding the Cascade Curtain.
Live on the East, sail on the West.

While it may not be that interesting. It does catch my eye. I have always loved sport fishers... but.

I can's say I know much about these seahorse's

Cool looking boat. 22000 hours on the engine?

The description says motors( only one main, ?typo or the 2 gensets rebuilt as well) during the big refit. Even so 22000 is a lot of hours, good advert for Scania?
Redoing paint after another blast made me wonder if the 6mm of steel is still 6mm.
Norman Wright is well regarded here.

Don’t know if this has been posted before, but it’s pretty interesting IMO!

Norman Wright are certainly not known for steelies
Boats of that style in timber
But it does say design not build

There's a lot to like on that boat until you get to the air draft. Clearly it's more of an inland near coastal cruiser. They talk about it being a great Looper. Apparently the ad writer doesn't understand that a 21' air draft isn't going to get you across the Erie canal, the Champlain canal, or past Joliet Illinois.

The air draft doesn't look that high in pictures, maybe my sense of scale is off, but I suspect you could remove radar, search light and be much closer to 18', that would allow for the eastern half of the Erie and the Trent Severn I believe.

Blackwell is a very highly regarded boatyard in the sportfishing world. A departure from their usual stuff for sure.

 

[cardude01]

I like how they added the bow thruster after the first trip. ?

I would need bow, stern and mid thrusters to dock that boat. Plus, how do you handle lines all the way up in that pilot house?

Still pretty coo tho.

From the ad:

She is Great Loop friendly with the VHF antenna lowered easily clears 21’ bridge height.

If you have to clear everything off the roof and can't do parts of the Loop, don’t think that qualifies as Great Loop Friendly.

Agreed. And if she's truly 21 feet tall without stripping the roof, she can't do the loop at all. No way to avoid going under a 19'6" bridge...

Definitely interesting! Actually from some angles, she reminds me of Bijou with a severe seafood allergy.

Pretty boat but I fail to see the "downeast style" or "workboat design". I don't see anything listed about speed or range but fuel capacity is a little light for a boat that size.

Their ad doesnt even say what the hull material is.

Seems like it's just an expensive toy for day 'short' day runs. More of a gentleman playboy runabout for entertaining than a 'go-places' trawler.

I didn't say I like it (I don't), just found it interesting.
