This looks like it was done intentionally with a great power plant. One advantage is it is powered to be quite efficient by choice. It has great lines. Looks like a great deal for someone.

I'm not sure what all is going on in that pic but the " gas bottle" doesn't appear to be a propane tank anymore...look at the Rube Goldberg plumbing fitting arrangement on the thing.. it has not shut off valve in the tank.. some sort of accumulator tank perhaps? .. on second thought it is the fuel tank or the oil heater to the left, look at the heat burn mark on the top of the box.

I did see what you described. There is a hand priming bulb at the bottom of it too. I figured it is a diesel day tank for the heating stove. What do you think it is?

Corrosion seems manageable. Upon repainting I’d say either paint the solid bulwark white or extend it all the way to the bow, because the “notch” feels awkward.
Powering seems perfect for a 7.0 knot cruiser who doesn’t desire to be running at hull speed very often.

Huh, that’s interesting. You get the catamaran beam and efficiency, but with the simplicity and efficiency of a single engine.

LEEN Trimaran bit starts at 1:50
Maybe they'll consider our 30' Sundowner Tug as a trade in?

Rockland ME?
Freeboard [especially in the bow] not tall enough.
IMO... heavy seas would create havoc on deck; depending on wave ferocity and duration maybe eventually sink her.

Dave Gerr's largest beachable yacht, the 76' Walrus:
Quote:
Massively built of aluminum at St. Augustine Marine Center by WJ Development to specs exceeding the* original design by Gerr Marine, Inc. Fantail stern configuration with unique tunnel-drive hull (centerline prop in tunnel) for shoal draft use and "beachability". Designed and built "to take ground with impunity anywhere, any time". WALRUS is the large sister of several other smaller, very successful yachts with the same hull form. The tunnel-drive hull form was originally developed by naval architect William Atken between the two world wars and was later resurrected by Dave Gerr beginning in 1995. Although ultra-shoal draft, these hulls have proven to be excellent seaboats as well as economical to run at cruising speeds.
