Nice boats but they don't even come close to the old Chris Crafts.

Just something small maybe 17-20' range.

looks sweet for sure, but that hull is only going to go so fast no matter how many horses you put on it. I bet you get relatively the same top end speed with 1/2 that power, so your paying for two extra cock wavers and burning a boatload of fuel for no reason.

Possibly, but it is a 42 foot.

I'll raise you twin deisels. That would be what I want on that boat. Open the back up for action and diving.

http://www.toffsworld.com/yachts_sailing_motorboats/images/octopus_paul_allen.jpg

Octopus cost Allen over US$200 million and has Permanent crew of 60, including several former Navy Seals. It has two helicopters, seven boats, a 10 man submarine and a remote controlled vehicle for crawling on the Ocean floor. The submarine has the capacity to sleep eight for up to two weeks underwater.

On average, owners must spend a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price every year to keep these yachts in good working condition and cover crew salaries. Therefore “Octopus” which cost Allen US$200 million requires a US$20 million annual budget.



Wonder what kind of gas mileage he gets?

EIGHT OF THESE TRIPLES ARE STILL KNOWN TO EXIST. SIX WERE SOLD BY JAKE OBEXER AT LAKE TAHOE. AMERICA WAS ORIGINALLY SHIPPED TO THE WISCONSIN TRANSPORTATION CO. IN LAKE GENEVA, WISCONSIN ON JUNE 8, 1937. AMERICA IS THE 343rd of 352 28’ FOOT CUSTOM RUNABOUTS ALL TOLD FROM THE 1920’s TO 1941.

I don't understand how you can run a boat from an enclosed flybridge, but a few captains do so successfully. The one thing that's completely stupid on that boat is the railing on the mezzanine in the cockpit. Why would you put in something that makes it harder for the angler to reach the rods?

[likwid]

To look pretty.

Also, no center rigger.
No rigging station.

I can't tell but it looks like it has a console up on the flying bridge outside the enclosed bridge.
That'd explain how they fish it with the enclosed flying bridge.

Poor skipper having to come out in the heat from the A/C.

You mean like the Lady J? Back in 2003 she was owned by the same guy that owned the Beauport, but I believe they have both changed owners at least once since then. Both are fully decked out as you'd imagine. Beauport, though somewhat ugly, has a shit-ton of character, and I was stoked to help deliver her from Roche Harbor to San Diego a few years ago. The Lady J was formerly the Quest of the Discovery Channel series.

http://www.theyachtmarket.com/userimages/167225.jpgI was actually thinking of French Look and the C-Condo/Freedom combination that the Chouests are selling. The one I tried to talk my wife into was the Hooker/Madam (I can't bear to use their current names).

The Beauport looks like a cool boat. Lady J looks like it has the yacht/game boat ratio all wrong.

I have this idea that someday I'm going to be a boat owner again. Sometimes I think I want a 40 foot open-bulkhead flybridge boat based in Baja, Guatemala, Costa Rica, or Panama. Other times I think I want to get an 80 foot trawler style boat with a boat deck big enough to hold a flats boat and a good sized center console, and use it to roam the Pacific.

Then I remember that my wife gets seasick, and my last boat was unconscionably expensive to own.

[hop]

I've found that the best boats are the ones you don't own but can use just about as you like. Gov't-issue ones at that.

The Beauport IS a cool boat. She's was a Cdn. Coast Guard sounding vessel before she was converted into a yacht. Icebreaking hull, heli pad, 31' Blackfin, 26' and 19' RIB, jetskis, the whole deal. And more character than all of those generic bar-of-soap Feadships and other gelcoat shinejobs could ever have. The only bummer is the lack of effective water-level back deck.

I think that someone should convert this sweeeet gal to a nice yacht when she gets de-commissioned.

No stabilizers.
But cheap enough if you're planning on refitting it to put them on.

Yep, the DSJ is stabilizer-free. She's a bit active but she's got so much character it doesn't matter. I wouldn't want to take her up to the North Pacific in winter though.

[The Suit]

But why is lack of stabilizers an "endurance constraint?" Does the crew start barfing after a month at sea? The other ships mostly have endurance constraints like fuel, food, or water.

You're right, stability doesn't really seem to have much to do with endurance.

I do know she can only be out for just over 3 weeks at a time (steaming more or less constantly at 10kts) before she has to go in to re-fuel. She has the capacity for more, but they have to have something like 50.000 gallons as ballast so it can't be burned. Assuming the watermakers are not busted she shouldn't be limited with fresh water.

I'll email the CO and see if he can shed some light on it.

Where is this? I dig the Wyoming flag on it!That was in Stuart, FL, in 2000. I think it was during the Stuart Sailfish Club's Light Tackle Tournament. You can see that we had a couple of release flags on the halyard.

We probably went through a half dozen Wyoming flags, because they'd get all frayed from flapping in the wind at 30 knots. When people asked if the boat was really from Jackson Hole, we liked to tell them that we had to get her back soon for trout season.

Nice ride. I grew up fishing billfish and tuna tournaments with my dad and his friends. A row of sportfishers, lined up looking tidy, but obviously well used brings back memories.
