The Badenach looks a lot of boat for the $, even north of 1M. I`m thinking you approve of the ER pics, no holding back there, with good reason. Badenach build in metal,mainly commercial.

Well caught Simi, I see the build material is in the advert. Either way, lovely boat.

Have we done this one yet? Looks massive. Someone's project who threw in the towel (either by choice or not by choice). There are a lot of dreams in that boat.

Looks like a midlife dream that never came to fruition! Most that can be hoped for this boat is a challenged life. I feel for the birth parent.

Layout inside reminds me of boarding school; maybe even a bit like Noah's Ark. Several things tell me many portions of this project were "diy" engineer-constructed. Future breakdowns/repeat-problems behind the walls and throughout the enclaves of interior could amount to catastrophic events.

Chain locker is huge, with what I see as problematic design and set up. Either the prop is used and was not tuned... or... by the looks of tarnish a tuned or a new prop has been sitting there for a long time...

Buyer - B - Ware!!

I guess the yard fees are about $150K

Kinda true! Maybe a leftover from an estate that tried to sell it couple decades ago; when no sale seemed possible... the inheritor walked away.

No wonder the "new" prop looks so tarnish-old.

40’ Monk

This is the real deal.
These boats designed by Ed Monk were very popular. They did everything well I believe and were known as a heavy cruiser but probably were/are lighter than a contemporary plastic 40’ trawler.
Rounded chine area descending far into the hull bottom. Most round chine boats keep the curve of the chine to the chine area.

Ed Monk was one heck of a good boat designer. His son kept right on designing same as dad.

Wonder how many boats Ed Sr. was the primary designer on?

He designed most Tollycraft boats; his son did quite a few too.
 
Thanks Caltex,
For that you get this,

Thanks Art,
Dan,
We don’t. It’s a life boat and if the time comes the water will come up to the dink.
See the black part of the eve of the roof? That’s a piece of PCV pipe slotted to fit snugly. I did drag our old FG dinghy over it pulling it up and slid it down to launch. Worked great till the dink got just about centered on the eve. Was too hard to finish the job. And now I have a right armed rotater cuff operation behind me so don’t want to push it. I still have the 10’ sailboat hull I had as a dinghy. It wasn’t heavy at under 100lbs so may work up a mechanical trick to haul it up some day. The old dink made a better OB boat than a rowboat. About 7-8 knots w a 6hp.
Here's Old Yeller from Thorne Bay pics.
In case you're wondering Willy's at about 7 knots here at WOT. Dosn't even make half that much wake at 6.15k.

Thanks Jack

Very nicely appointed but has old Perkins power. Not FD

Sure like the interior. Beats some NT’s. Very angular lines. Almost looks like the guy that built her was a carpenter .. not a shipwright. But the space is so well thought out. He’ll probably sell it. I like wood boats but few people do. Wonder what that stack is for? Guessing fresh air for the engine and general ventilation.

He had plans of going places w all that tankage. Her weight is two tons less than my Willard and I’m assuming that’s dry.

The Glen L Jolly Roger is designed with a radiused sheer break.

I agree with the carpenter with a square look. The builder also made the ports larger.
 
Agree how? Re how it looks?

“Radiused sheer break” as in early 50’s ChrisCraft?
That would look much better because as is it looks like part of a stack of lumber.
On the practical side it makes a perfect step.

The 90 degree sheer break is horrible.

Here's how it was designed.

The stack is for the diesel wall mounted heater, looks like a Dickerson
 
I've noticed this boat on CL for a number of months. One small detail that would freak me out is the very flush forward deck with no rails (obvs this could be rectified). I had the bow rail off my boat for awhile to re-bed it, and I was crawling around up there like a scared baby until I put it back. Maybe that's just me though.

Yep, I noticed that, and I would have to have handrails as well! Call me Coward!:D

Never seen one w/o a flue cap on top.

LostSailor13,
That boat was designed by a very famous NA and he and the boat live in the Canadian Gulf Islands.

Northern Spy,
I was thinking a convex curve .. but I get it yes.
