Anybody knows who makes this boat?

Looks like a Bluewater gasser some had diesels.

Agreed. Bluewater, but no relation to the Bluewater 40 pilothouse trawler.

Nice liveaboard layout. Perhaps the tightest engine room I've ever seen. Very shallow draft - marketing material often showed them nudged onto a beach. A dixie-cup in any sort of cross breeze.

It is a Bluewater. Looks like 51 footer. We have a 1986, but the model with a cockpit. The pair of us love it for cruising the Bahamas because of its shallow 2' draft, large mainly one-level one level (easy safe staircases both sides to fabulous-to-spend-time-on bridgedeck). She is a super-comfy geriatric liveaboard &/or for family & guests and/or entertaining. Downside are our huge fuel & electricity guzzlers., ndter our simple cruising sailboat we find all of the wiring, electrical,, and electronic complexity too much to repair and unneccessary. We need to put in a new depthsounder without hauling...and WOULD LIKE TO KNOW the thickness of the hull and material(s)/layers?????

It’s a blue water. I can tell because it hit the dock with the stern and it ripped off. Not the first time I have seen this.

Looks like it would make a great flat water type boat - the living space and ease of a houseboat, but looks like a proper boat and not like a houseboat.

Made in Mora, Minnesota until they shut down around 2008. We have one in our marina, and we used to live near Mora. They tried to get it going again in 2011 but ultimately couldn't make it work.
