what is this boat?

[RT46]

can anyone identify this boat?

Series 1 53 POS.

Look at that aft cabin setup.

 

[jim rosenthal]

Maybe someone just built that frame an enclosed it back there......

 

[RT46]

I didnt measure it, but it looked to be at least 60'

if i had to guess, i was thinking a 60' (series 1) w a cockpit extension and molded swimplatform.
(platform isnt too clear in the pic)

also if you look closely at the hull it appears to have stabilizers....

The forward sections almost look Viking to me, 1980's vintage.

I had the same thought.

It looks very much like whats left of the Donzi Z-65 that had a fire aboard. You all may remember it as being used in an episode of CSI Miami. Its been kicking around in various states of rebuild for quite a few years. I will try to find some pics to see if my hunch is correct.

Experts: Same boat?

 

[saltshaker]

This one has me a bit stumped. I don't think it's a Donzi. The Donzi has a more exaggerated stepped shear plus the deckhouse looks much different. My first impression was that the hull looked like a Viking but Viking never built a boat that big with that style hull. It's not a Bertram either. I thought the hull could be a Uniflite or even a Chris Craft but the only SF they built that is that big is the CC58C. Only 2 were built and that's not either one of them. I'm going with a Hatteras 60C. The stepped shear, break in the hull were the feature stripe typically is, lack of hull vents, and what appears to be what used to be three salon windows, all point to a 60C. It doesn't look like there is enough freeboard at the bow or enough bottom to be a 60C but I'm guessing it could be the angle of the picture and the way she's blocked.

I tend to agree with Jack. The lack of hull side vents and the side windows look like a 60C.

 

[jim rosenthal]

Whatever it is, it's pretty damn ugly.

Viking motor yacht? Sheer at the bow looks as it slopes down at the bow a bit

 

[sandspur1966]

Im with Jack sheer looks 60c just below the waterline is off. Those weird stabilizers make the hull look like it doesnt carry the modified v as far back as Hargrave did... Too flat forward of midships.

There was a new Viking 82C at the marina where I bought my boat. When we saw the boat we were trying to figure out what it was. The bow was massive. We were shocked when we saw it was a Viking. That's the first non droopy nose Viking I ever saw.

I thought it was an old egg harbor.

That is a 60SF that has been extended, and several "custom " additions like a sprial stair case to the bridge, a bridge enclosure, transom mod. It has been there, in the ferry yard, for at least 5 years. I had talked with the owner once, he pretty much told me here's your hat good by.

Jerry is correct except for how long It has been there, its been there since the fall of 2000. A friend of mine did the extension and the ferry yard is a friend of mine I was just talking to Matt about it two weeks ago.
I know all about this boat but I won't post it here!

 

[RT46]

Dan and JM have the right boat, it is in the ferry yard.
and it really does look like an extended hatteras...

 

[Glory]

The shrink wrap used to be all the way to the ground, with just the bow sticking out.

I'd love to see the boat, you know, for ideas to add to my already unmanageable list of ideas.

If i had to guess, I would think it once looked something like this.....
