Interesting boats

It's cheap for an 82 footer[/url]

Love the boat, just had to chuckle at this. Note to self: if I ever find myself uttering those words, it's a good idea to run fast in the other direction!

As a long time fan of power catamarans, this boat caught my attention a year or so ago (yes, it has been for sale for a long time). Love the layout (at least as best one can tell from the pictures). The overall condition of the boat looks concerning (serious growth on hulls, etc...). Looks like a long time live aboard that hasn't moved much in a long time.

That's the sense that I get as well. Shame. I know the feeling of stepping aboard a boat you thought would be great and immediately knowing that it's a basket case. Martinique is a loooong way to travel to risk repeating that experience.

Man that's cool....

This class was known as a horrible seaboat ...But CG service and yacht service differ...

I have seen this boat off of NY harbor... She certainly is well maintained,looks great..I think she may be owned by sea scouts? I see the CG aux banner...

Dutch built, refitted locally. An attractive boat with fuel filtration aplenty! But those fingermarks on the stainless steel fridge/freezer drawers are a blot on the pristine landscape.

Looks stout....perhaps the Rosborough name gives her some cred?

Anybody notice a price on this?

 

[Kit_L]

I inquired: AUD $2,200,000

A little our of my price range!

Wonder why a boat launched in 2014 needed an 18 month refit in 2020?

This is obvious Bruce, to change the kitchen cabinets and countertop because the wife did not like them! :lol:

This has been for sale for some time with a number of price drops. Seems like decent value for the amount of boat, but for whatever reason doesn't seem to be able to be sold.

How hard is it to find permanent birth on that coast for a 60 footer?

How hard is it to find permanent birth on that coast for a 60 footer?

Here`s one example of availability:https://superyachtmarina.com.au/
Our Marina at Bobbin Head inside Ku Ring Gai national park, operated by empire Marinas, can and does accommodate boats that size. I don`t think it would be too difficult, the "rich and famous" of Sydney seem to have a taste for big motor cruisers, usually professionally crewed.

It is only 60' so not too bad. There are plenty of berths in SEQ for this size vessel.

Nigel Irens "Hang Tuah"

Don't know if someone already post on this boat who was for sale at an asking price of 250k$ and with the indication "make an offer" .
It seem someone made an offer

 

[Kit_L]

Where was that listing? Can you add a link? Too big for us, but would love to see more detail.

I chatted with the broker and walked around that boat in the yard two years ago, and it's been for sale since. Definitely stout, but basically a home build on a work boat hull.

Here is an archive of the builder's website. The original site is still on the web, but it's not loading properly on my browser.

 

[Kit_L]

Thanks, @thekiltedwonder.

 

[long-cours.62]

I have more details

and film but too big for load here,

Of course too big for us but a colleague wanted we negotiate for him, unfortunately we waiting answer from the broker 10 day, after that they send film and photo (but don't answer to our question, send again the question...waiting 10 day contacted an another broker (not the central one) who said :
" oh this boat got an offer accepted by the owner"

It is so curious than the broker don't waiting for our offer ...

 

[long-cours.62]

one part of infos

For the rest it is too heavy.

 

[Kit_L]

@long-course.62: Thank you sincerely for this extra information. Yes, the world of boat brokers is interesting, for sure.

 

[Mako]

Well, that Hang Tuah certainly does qualify as an Interesting Boat. Looks like they keep a small 4kW generator running 24/7 to power it, although with today's technology that could easily be replaced with a large solar array.

A shame how it has been neglected and has deteriorated over the years.

I find this boat quite intriguing although I wish the power was dialed back a bit. Normal beam so easier to find docking however hopefully with some added stability from 2 hulls.

OMG, a V drive in a catamaran! One look at the engines shoehorned into the hulls makes it a total maintenance nightmare. Don't walk away, run!

This could be a dandy. Lots of capability for a boat this size with a great designer. If the V drives were done right, I could sure live with them.

[ABfish]

Not scared of the v-drives, as I've owned a boat outfitted with such.

But the boat in question looks as though access to the sides of the engines is extremely limited. Lots of standing on your head for routine service.

Agree.....looks like here's how factory did it.....

That’s not Shoe horned. My buddy has a 43 Lagoon power cat with the 300 hp Volvo KDs in it. What a nightmare to work on , add insult to injury the Volvos.

Totally agree and the staterooms are pretty tight, too. Needs to be bigger.

Same designer and engines as ours.
If you go with a full width master on a cat that size you are lucky to get a guest cabin at all.
With a short cockpit design powercat you need either v drive or stern drives, I would vote for v drive every time.
You would have to pull the engine for any shaft or transmission maintenance but that lets you do a lot of other work at the same time.
I don't like that flybridge access at all, which is the main reason we don't have a flybridge.
Everything is a compromise, especially if you want to fit a cat in a standard berth.
I quite like it.
