Here is an odd one....

and another.....

 

[Boss Lady]

I can't believe someone spent good money on that!

 

[jim rosenthal]

Well, maybe it was good money til he spent it....no more calls, please, we have a winner in the "all ugly" contest. It could audition for a job sniffing packages at the airport.

I saw this sign at our marina yesterday: "LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO OWN AN UGLY BOAT." Seems appropriate.

What were they thinking with the tilted forward window of the salon ?

If they would add some of the large outside mirrors as seen on semi's ......it would be a complete package.


( don't laugh, I actually saw a boat where the owner mounted a couple of those large mirrors from a semi ( he got them at a junk yard ) on the forward hand rails )

 

[Jaxfishgyd]

Don't laugh at those big semi side mirrors !

I did a delivery a few years ago and there was zero visiblity of the back of the boat when backing into a slip due to "additions" done.(he added a tiki bar behind the fly bridge and had disconnected the lower station).

The owner had installed those mirrors (he did have enought sense not to make them permanent but did put them in when getting ready to dock) and they worked.

Besides, with the way the rest of the boat looked, the mirrors fit right in !!!

What a "creative" example of nautical design. Is that a cat hull? Can't tell from the pic but must be quite a ride in 4' head seas.

I think what moved it from "odd" to "ugly" was the drooping forward cabin window. Even if it were on land it would still appear to be sinking.

Oh well, as P.T. Barnum used to say 'there's an a$$ for every seat'.

Good news! She is actively FOR SALE. You can be the proud new owner. She is gas powered and the axing price is $96,500. Contact your local boat-huckster.

No it is not a cat.....That is what caught my eye, I have a close up pic I will post. I cant believe they want $90k!

 

[Jaxfishgyd]

And just where is this beauty located at ?

I myself could see Randy owning it.....

 

[poseidon]

apparently its a 55' Hickman Sea Sled??? looks like a sled alright. here's the for sale link.

Actually, it's not half bad. Or should I say it is half bad?

If you could sever the front half and put on a proper bow - I'd say there would be some hope for it.

 

[luckydave215]

How could it be that ugly on the outside and that nice on the inside?
I defies some kind of natural law..........a Huckins mated with vegetables?

 

[Jaxfishgyd]

No No No!! Not a Huckins, a (aply named I might add) HICKman...

As I live only 500 ft from Huckins Boat Yard, I would love to see Cindy's face (She's the Grand daugther of the Huckins founder and now runs the company) if she was asked to buid something like that....

 

[Capt.Erich]

There is a similar looking "sled" on the Okeechobee water way. I can't remember exactly where but somewhere on the north shore. Everytime I see it I still think... "How could somebody look at that and say... Oh, yes I've got to have that."

 

[Boatsb]

55 foot with 350 gas engines. Must be a bit lighter than a hatt. I bet it could be convinced to sever the bow easy enough on its own.

 

[jim rosenthal]

Allen Vaitses built THAT? I can't believe it. How the mighty have fallen........what a shame.

 

[67hat34c]

Still think the Cargill Cutter is uglier, it was a production boat. This thing and I use the term loosly appears to be built one phase at a time. just kept adding on. Bet it has shag carpet and formical.

Wasnt there a country music song about a guy that worked in the Cadillac factory and brought parts home over the span of 20yrs or so and assembled his cadillac at home? I would guess it would look similar

 

[67hat34c]

better view

 

[(Nobody You Know)]

Hey, just you watch. Somebody will come along and buy that thing. Maybe not for much but it will sell.
