Survival craft
I like this one, the guy looking for a bag of beans and rice could survive on this one. The hull is a former Bristol Bay 32' sailing fishing boat.

As a general rule, if I do not see detailed engineering pictures, including tops of batteries and the heavy gauge wiring that these need, I will stop reading right there. Everyone who is on this thread knows exactly the sorts of things that they need to see detailed pictures of, I believe. I have passed on quite a few boats on this criterion alone.

I do not consider Ancor panels to be junk. However, these panels were designed for use on small sail boats and ski boats. Stringing several of these entry level panels together to do the job does meet my standards of low quality. Add to that a Perko Battery switch which in my opinion is junk.

Panels are nothing more than a plate to fix breakers on, then breakers are mostly made by the same manufacturer sold by bluesea or another resaler. If the 3 breaker panels are properly wired I do not see where the low quality is.
The most low quality work I see there is the 3 breakers at the top right that are not even set straight, this for my standards is low quality

I understand what you are saying completely. I see house plants and all the stuff one might see a full time live aboard have, I instantly move on. Everyone has their individual criteria.

Right. The engine order telegraph, complete with bell in the engine room, is actually simply a fancy single lever engine and gear control. That was true when it ran the original Lister Blackstone and is true now running the Cat 3406. And yes, we have a Kobelt device, also looking very much like a single lever control, which translates the rotary motion coming our of the engine order telegraph into push pull on the two Morse cables going to throttle and gear.
The Lister Blackstone had to be started in the engine room. The Cat starts from the wheelhouse or the engine room.

Funny, because I always started my engines from the ER. Out of, say, 100 times I started it maybe 2 or 3 from the pilothouse. Just my personal preference.

Here is an interesting ad. See excerpts below:
"Great 1984 49 DeFever raised pilot house Troler twin 135 super lemons. 1200 gallons of fuel. Fore brand new 250 gallon aluminum fuel tanks +250 gallon steel fuel tanks. Brand new 9KW Cummins generator."
So if you are in the market for a Troler with twin 135 lemons, this might be the boat for you!

Price could be a squeeze...but hurry, you could get pipped.

Boat?
I couldn't resist posting this "interesting boat". It's an outboard powered floating tiki bar. I've seen traveling on the river and in Long Island Sound with guests sitting around the bar on barstools.

Ok, but have you ever seen a floating picnic table?

At least $20K over priced.
