"porn is what excites one's mind"..... Show me a great boat or a big fish and I DO GET EXCITED......

 

[jim rosenthal]

Those boats are amazing. Wish I had a boathouse and a spare million dollars...

I have been involved with and run the 35 named cyclone that you see on their site. The boat is amazing.

Ah, yes. VanDam from Boyne City, Michigan. They make some really cool stuff, but pricey $$$$$$$$$

Just saw 2 or 3 examples of his work this weekend in Lake Geneva. His finishes are by far, the best I've seen. Exceptional work everywhere. Steve Van Dam wasn't there but a representative was telling me this boat has 6000 hours of labor in it.

The only other boat builder I can recall that built things that looked like these- that I saw, anyway- is Rybovich. These are more like waterborne jewelry. I think the boat in the large photo is "Big Mouth Charlie", from the web site photos anyway.

These boats provoke lust of a level I am embarrassed to admit.

Jim,
Thanks for the admission.
It is reassuring to know I'm not alone.

I have two teenage sons, both very aware of:
a) my obseession with boats.
b) my always being on this and YF Forum.
c) They are HEALTHY AUSSIE young men= girls. (thanks God!) not that threre is anything wrong with gays!

So, there I am drooliing over this thread and as a joke my youngest yells out to his Mom that Dad is checkin out "Boat Porn"!
To which I yell out "No!!! The Guy who posted it meant "Boat Horn!" to which the Boys laughed so hard that I got a gut ache laughing with them!
God Bless Nature!!!!

Any experts care to ID this boat? ws

1973 48C?

HATAH 4881073 (?)

 

[saltshaker]

Looks like a 45C series I with a Slane bridge and vents. I like the rounded salon door. Still has the 6" exhaust so she probably still has 8v71N's in her. Someone spent some cash making her look nice. Curious to see what the interior and the ER look like.

 

[captddis]

Jack,
You always beat me to the answer. I concour a 45C ser 1 With a new bridge and numerous upgrades. Looks nice. Now all it needs is more power.

 

[yachtsmanbill]

Ill buy that guys, so decipher the HIN would ya?? ws

 

[Avenger]

If you look in the brochures archive it lists the two letter codes for the various models. "AH" is a Series 1 45C.

Business has been slow lately. She sure looks nice. Can't imagine doing all that work and not repowering her. As good as she looks, I'd rather have a 46HP that was maintained or refit.

Looks like we've got another boat porn thread going! I'll throw this one back in.

And the original custom express.
