warm water alloy porn

Post by welderbob »

After 1000's of hours of work, weeks on the high seas our 28' linehandler / pumpout boat arrived in St Thomas USVI.
The boat is 28 x 10'2" ,the console was offset to allow more space on the deck for handling lines coming off the cruise ships that dock there. We had the chance to see the boat working while the crew handled lines for the largest cruise ship in the world (Oasis of the Sea ). The boat also has a 750 gallon black water tank below the deck. This is the first pump-out boat in St Thomas.
Since I'm more of a diver than fisherman, we decided to find a rock to tie off nearby and spend some time checking out the welds on the bottom of the boat. Glad to report that the dive ladder worked well.

The boat worked very well both as a line handler and as a pump-out boat. I think that I'm going to have to keep a close eye on this boat especially this Feb when its cold and snowy here in the northeast.

We are currently working on a 26' diesel powered line handler. This one is going to NJ. Anyone want to sign up for this maiden voyage

The top was designed to be easy and light to remove when working around the ships lines

Hey Bob,

was it your indea to paint the bottom Caribean "blue"....so to match the water?
I'm guessing it isn't always S.O.P. to accompany the delivery to such a locale?

Here in j-ville, the line handling boat for the tug company (Moran) is a big jon-boat with twins.
That one's a lot NICER!

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

Yes the boat was designed by Bill Lincoln.
If the hull look familiar, we kind of followed the lines of our 23' pump-out boat.
We had some "Caribbean blue" left from the last little boat we built.(the customer was Irish) So we were happy to finish off the last of the green.

I like the lines. Especially the shearline.
