Close your ears my dear girl.
Pay no attention to the mean boys in the school yard.
You are beautifull and talented.
You will go far in your life full of adventures.
Hold your bow high and be proud.
Let the flair of your bow deflect the naysayers spray.
Let your scuppers expel all bad waters.
The sun will shine on you my girl because the master has built you robust AND beautiful to weather the storm.
Love Rob

I would toss the fridge, install a two burner Wallas stove and fit a bigger sink.
Not ugly at all.

Was just speaking with the lady that purchased this boat last year. They loved it but have decided it is more boat than they need. May be offering it for sale. Six hours on the clock! Still in Florida. She said they paid $115K - not sure yet what they will be asking. Won't likely last long. I have 6 different search sites that I check for Rosborough's several times a week and they have been selling like hot cakes last 2 - 3 months. Hard to find a used one anywhere and new builds are backed up.

Rob, I loved your little sonnet, but I still think it is far from pretty, and for me, again, that aft freeboard is WAY TOO LOW. Still.

Smaller boats with higher pilot houses seem great for standup room below,
big guys/gals, x-tra room, x-tra storage, etc.
Realize a taller pilothouse is like having a sail on your powerboat. Downwind it
could be a blessing. A headwind, not so much. A beam wind at sea, if moderate,
can be handled. A strong beam wind docking can be a big negative.
Aye.
Grandpa, an old Navy man, used to say, "There is no perfect boat."

| I would definitely want a test ride in at least moderate beam seas. As Foggy mentioned, the house is pretty tall relative to the hull. That hull is a modified form of the old SISU hull, which was known for seaworthiness but not for stability. It was not originally designed for such a large pilothouse. You'd be opening windows for air throughput when docking in a cross wind at the very least. |

Bill, that's strange it works when I clic it. Try this link - https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10218608341421678&set=pcb.4744609418914094
It is the link to her first pic - might allow you to right clic to see the rest. Are you on facebook? If so search "Rosborough owners, wanna be's and used to be's". It is one of the most recent topics on the site. You can also search "Cape Breton" or the owners name Betsy Reiser on that site.
If that doesn't work let me know and I will try something else. |

Thanks for adding those, Rob. It looks nice, but I think it would have a rolley polley ride. AND, I would miss the C-Dory Shear stripe
