Interesting boats

[MurrayM]

This one has probably been posted already, but the recent comment about a half-million-dollar...made me recall her again. We had the good fortune of getting aboard at a boat show - I thing it was early 2014. She is amazing, in her own way.

Sigh...

This boat was obviously such a labour of love that the owners are probably basing its price on emotions rather than the realities of the current used boat market.

Our boat was priced similarly (emotionally, not over $500,000.00!!!) by the PO's and remained unsold for about 4 years. We met with them, and got along really well. They saw in us a local family with knowledge of the area who wanted to keep the boat in its home waters and use it to explore the region much as they had. Knowing their boat would continue its life much as they had used it took some of the sting away from selling, and they reduced the price.

This boat may follow a similar path.

Get rid of the flopper stoppers and put in hydraulic stabilizers then the boat would be perfect.

Yes, turbocharged AND naturally-aspirated

Dan,
No it wouldn’t. Then it would be $300000.

Great boat . I wish I was in position to do something. Good luck with the sale. MOJO was actually going to be our next if ever boat name .

 

[IRENE]

MOJO is a very interesting boat - I love the lines. I am not a buyer today, but would enjoy reading more about her if you could point me in the right direction, please.

 

[Sailor of Fortune]

In your mind...

I agree with MurrayM.. Nothing wrong with flopper stoppers.

 

[ben2go]

I want to jump on the flopper stoppers wagon. They are cheaper overall and less chance of hitting one on and underwater object and ripping a hole in the boat. However, they do require more labor to operate and need more tending to compared to hydro stabilizers. They are kind of a set and forget feature. Before anyone says anything about the stab fins being able to break away upon impact, it hasn't been to many years ago since we discussed this topic, after a boat sank because a hydro stab fin didn't break away as intended.

Hydro stabilizers require a lot more labour to buy and install.

Flopper stopper/paravanes will be a relatively cheap and easy install on ours, active fins, even fold down batwings would require MAJOR engineering and surgery.

Nice boat but you could have at least tried to get an A into her name.

Oh yeah. I was refering to boats with installed units. I didn't make that clear. Oops

 

[OldDan1943]

I guess I did not explain my reason for removing the flopper stoppers and go to hydraulic stabilizers.
It requires almost no labor to deploy, except for turning on and off.
They may be able to cruise longer.
I would have installed hydraulic stabilizers earlier in the life of the boat.

What is the draft and what is the air draft? Will it do the loop (19' air draft)?

 

[ben2go]

19 foot above the water, it can do it but certain places will be off-limits. Last year I was told that the deepest hull draft should be 4 feet as there was a lot of shoaling in the channels along the coast. Mostly below the Chesapeake.

 

[BruceK]

They say boat owners are dreamers... but so are boat sellers.

A 50 year old wood boat for half a million bucks? I’m curious what it eventually sells for. Does anyone have crystal ball who can look 3-5 years into the future?

It`s a 65ft Halvorsen,and old Halvorsens are like vintage cars here,they have a special value. The previous owners are well known and had a $$$(before buying it at least).I`d never shell out for it,the maintenance would be horrendous, but others with deeper pockets and a love for it have, and someone else will. Though as you say,the sale price,if it gets out, would be interesting.

My crystal ball shows, 3-5 years I will be dead.
Good luck reselling my boat, as if I care. CHUCKLE

I kind of like it but it does look a lot like a backyard build in this pic.

They use or used to use small tugs, similar to this tug, in log or mill ponds, moving logs to the feed chain, to the saws. The tugs were way over powered and effective.

Those rolling chocks look so small...think they would have much effect?

If they are working well I will copy them to my boat hull

Yup, looks like a harmless ice breaking / buoy tender. Where do you hide the machine guns and cannons and assault forces?
