Re: Check out this pig
Boy, thats a lot of boat. I also think that is a hot deal. The aluminum alone is worth a good portion of that, and the truck looks like she will getter done!!!! Pilar, this is your dream boat!! You can now live in Newport and commute to Corvallis. At 18,000 lbs, the gal/hr crusing?

Re: Check out this pig
That is a get'r done utility boat. I actually like it. The Name of the boat is Ugly Duckling. Fitting!

Re: Check out this pig
Is all the propane heat and cooking coast guard approved? I didn't think you could use propane on a boat like that.

Re: Check out this pig
There have been two of those in Boat Trader for over a year. Haven't checked lately though. I think they were listed for like $65K and/or $95K.

Re: Check out this pig
Interesting, it has a diesel outboard, a Yanmar. I didn't even know there were any diesel outboards made.

Re: Check out this pig
I actually have been on board, in the lot. The workmanship was amazing. beautiful welds, even if the boat itself is ugly. The trailer was reall
ly wierd, it had an exendable tongue, careful here. Also had an interesting foil in the center of the hull. Absolutely no fishing deck, but what a beast.

Re: Check out this pig
Absolute waste of aluminum that could have gone to the manufacturing of quality beer cans.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RECYCLE THAT ALBATROS!!!

Re: Check out this pig
I don't know much about running in the bay but if I ever saw that thing motoring in any direction remotely opposite to mine it would be granted right of way....

Re: Check out this pig
I think its got a strange beauty to it, I actually love the hull design and think it would be super stable.

Re: Check out this pig
Was told it was used for a water taxi in alaska. one of three. called an artic cat or something like that. That central hydrofiol stabalizer thing looks pretty interesting. Aside from astetics, looks like the guy that built it knew what he was doing.
