Thanks for the link. Very interesting. It would have been neat to have seen it arrive or depart.
Really nice vessel. Gotta love the look of a North Sea trawler. However, a 6B at 315hp sound a bit too hot. And overpowered

The most interesting vessel I’ve seen at a boatyard. I was told it’s a Boeing sub. Anyone know more about this?
Looks interesting. Maybe autonomous??

O C Diver, thanks for digging up that old thread. I'm sure I was a lurker here back when the owner/builder of that vessel first shared his work of art with the forum, but I do not recall seeing it. I just read read the thread and was blown away by that gentleman's accomplishments, devotion, and abilities. If you have not read that old thread, do yourself a favor. If the owner is still on here, it would sure be a treat to hear from him again and hear some stories of their river trips and how the boat has served them.Went and looked (from the dock) at this boat on the Great Loop Fall rendezvous at Joe Wheeler state park. The man who took me to the grocery store had traveled quite a bit on it. The owner and his wife and my chauffeur and his wife had done a number of trips on the Tennessee and Ohio rivers. Great boat for river cruising with another couple.
The owner was briefly on the forum and talked about building and cruising it. Will try to find the thread.
Edit: As I remembered, the owner built the boat. Mt recollection is that it may have also been featured in Passage Maker magazine. Quite an interesting story.

Currently raising funds for a full rebuild. Hope to have her finished in time for her 100 year anniversary coming in 2014.

I like everything but the enclosed flybridge, ruined the lines in my opinion and what's the point, you now have two enclosed helms.

Great little boat for $75k, good range (2k miles) doesn't feel small inside, needs a little updating I'm sure.
As I read the description, it appears to be PVC over a steel frame. Is that correct?

I like the hull colour, i'm sure that some will approve of it.
Am I the only one to find a bit odd a gaz tank near electrical buses and what looks like a battery charger and over a manual fuel primer bulb on picture 45? Especially that I am not sure that that enclosed space is properly vented to avoid any gaz accumulation in case of a leak.Boat for sale - Custom Steel Pilothouse Trawler - 40'

I'm not sure what all is going on in that pic but the " gas bottle" doesn't appear to be a propane tank anymore...look at the Rube Goldberg plumbing fitting arrangement on the thing.. it has not shut off valve in the tank.. some sort of accumulator tank perhaps? .. on second thought it is the fuel tank or the oil heater to the left, look at the heat burn mark on the top of the box.
