Hi Folks, There are some interesting boats currently on e-bay: Mission Marine: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/338-Mission-Marine-Aluminum-Police-Military-Patrol-boat-/260940866836?pt=Power_Motorboats&hash=item3cc149a514#ht_26195wt_1165 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/288-Mission-Marine-Aluminum-P...

Kevin,

Thank you very much for the concise and thoughtful explanation. It is exactly the insight that I was looking for.

I'm always watching for a good deal on a boat that will satisfy my needs. but I think that I will continue looking.

Hi Folks, So I was looking around and came across Stanley Boats, sold by: http://www.twoharbours.com/ I remember them from a few years ago advertising in a regional magazine. They stated this: "STANLEY boats are manufactured from 3/16" or 1/4"thick, 5052 and 5083 marine grade aluminum...

I just came across this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 500wt_1182

I wonder what type of alloy it is made of?

Cheers

Rick

WOW! nice looking boat... what kind of power/performance? any thoughts of an outboard version?
Please keep us in the loop.

ps Alloy I think I used to rent one of those condos!

NICE purchase! is the bow open w/a walk through window? It looks like it is in great shape. More photos and please document your project progress here!

Cheers

Hi There, It is time to replace my Avalanche... I would love a new chevy but there is no way that I am going to buy another GM product because of the bailout. :soap: Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the EcoBoost. The numbers look great and I drove one and I'm impressed. I've searched alot...

Hi there,

Here is a link to a similar tug already built... not sure if it is still for sale.

if he sold it I would guess that he would help you w/your build

cheers

did I read this correctly $400K to retrofit a 10 year old 23' Boat w/a "off the shelf" battery? what will they do w/the batteries in 4-6 years... Oh I guess that is another $400k disposal. I hope this harbor master writes alot of tickets and charges big bucks for the brown stuff... what is...

WOW Bob,

Nice boat & work, was it also designed by Bill L?

The water looks great, I could tell in the 1st photo that you weren't in Long Island.

Cheers

Rick

Yes that is the boat... Are they all self bailing? I don't see it on their webpage.

Hey guys thanks for all the responses, there is a 30' boat down in FLA that I would guess could be bought right!... I can't imagine too many go fast plastic guys interested in it. I haven't seen it but it sounds like a similar story... couple years old few hours.... I will post when I hear more. Che...

Hi Folks,


http://www.kingfisherboats.net/


does anyone have any feedback on these boats? How are they built? how do they ride? how do they hold up?

Thanks in advance

Rick

Sabs28, My little boat, rides very well (even non boaters comment on the ride) & is VERY stable, However the prop will ventilate in very tight high speed turns but it is predictable. I have been in some pretty heavy seas for a small boat and never felt uncomfortable. I also rode in a 23' version...

Hi Bob,

I think that it is a larger version of my boat... I hope it worked out well for you and your customer. I am very impressed w/the hull. Lots of whaler owners can't believe the stability and ride of my little boat.

Let's see some more photos of this nice build!

Cheers

Rick

Yes Viking builds some nice boats! I think that it is Bill Lincoln from Response Marine who designs some nice boats taking the video. http://www.responsemarine.com/ My Skiff is designed and built by these guys! If you dig a little you can find some great builders on the East Coast.
