And what's that loft height entry in the first photo for? Exit to dock height when the tides out?
Looks to me like a flying bridge!! Isn't that a steering wheel up there?? |
Robert-
Yes, I think you're right!
I didn't notice the steering wheel, etc.
Good eye!
Next question: How do you get up there?
Drop/swing down ladder on the under side of the platform?
Door under console?
Funny!
Joe.

Indeed, the steering wheel and controls are on that elevated platform at the top of the roofline at back of the boat. I only imagine how the linkage for the steering and controls must be jerry-rigged to tie everything together with the "twin" engines. Must be close to 10 feet from the bottom of the actual "cabin" (LOL) to the steering wheel/controls. At any rate this rare find caught my attention and I felt it would be appreciated by this group of refined knowledgable marine aficionados. Thanks to Joe's expertise in moving the pics from my album to this thread.
Realizing the appeal that the fine craftsmanship and engineering of this unique vessel will have on this discerning group of true mariners, I would be open to contacting the owner for availability and price, should anyone feel compelled to upgrade.

This boat was a few slips down from us last summer in Harris Harbor, Juneau, Alaska. I spoke with the owner and he said at one time he had used it to fish halibut comercially. As I recall it was for sale for around 15K.

Kind of a seagoing "rat rod"? Wonder what kind of stove/heater that Charlie noble was hooked up to? Obviously some kind of solid-fuel one??
She looks welled used and put away wet!

Well, it's obviously not afloat, but sure is ugly. Saw this on Craigslist tonight.

This "boat" raises a lot of questions  The only boat I've drove that had a flying bridge was a 32' rental house boat. It had a large plaque on the flying bridge stating that " THIS UPPER HELM MUST NOT BE USED WHEN ENTERING HARBOURS OR IN ANY TIGHT QUARTERS." I don't even see a lower station on this boat!
I guess the owner isn't too concerned with hull planning speed dynamics but he could have opted for the extra long shaft outboards! Maybe we could send him a link to some of our threads on "cavitation plate height".
