I agree the engine choices are weird. Maybe it's so that no matter where you are in the world, you're likely to be able to find parts & service for one or the other!

I do like the lines of this boat.
2200 hours on a volvo? Is that a record?
No mention of stabilizers

Interesting boats

Beamy!

I see that they have the side excursions covered in triplicate.

The name Wanderbird didn't convey with the vessel, which I thought was unusual. It turns out that Wanderbird was used on another boat and was written in several books about its travels.

Nice boat!

4' draft too! Often that type boat is much deeper draft than that.

Too bad you don't get to see an out-of-the-water photo... I suspect the Lehman is a get-home engine...

Yes, buried in the text it mentions that it is a wing engine. Also, many fishing boats of that style and size are more flat bottomed with chines than FD with chocks.

As an aside, I’ve been using the Yachtworld filter to look for boats with a single main engine for some time now. I discovered the other day that by selecting “one” engine, I was filtering out many boats with wing or auxiliary engines. Sigh.

Quadruple, there’s also one on the pilothouse roof.

Wow - I never picked that up. Complaint #4,239 for YachtWorld's search engine duly lodged...

Strange to put a FL120 in a 2008 build! I mean it's a great engine and all, but...

Looks great. There are several houseboat charter businesses making $$$ where we moor, yours looks nicer,I hope you enjoy comfortable cruising.

It all depends on how the broker enters the info into the listing, and there is no consistency, and they are often obviously hurried. Don’t even get me started on berths and staterooms.

The listing for this boat appears to be offline, but an image search for another thread brought up this 'repower' gem.

Instead of “interesting boats” this thread is more just big boats.
