Sarah Beth looks like the old Galant Lady??? This boat brings to mind a guestion. What is the reg about placement of the nav lights? The leading 3/4 of that boat run dark.

There are 3 other Rybovich cruisers. 2 in the 50- 60 ft range one of which is at Lambs in Jacksonville in need of arefit. The other one was sold by Huckins about 5 yrs ago and went to Long Island. The 3 rd one called Wildcat is the masterpiece at 75 ft and was sold last year after being in the same family for years. All 3 of these boats are true cruisers

Post #8 is "Ultima Novia" ex "Sariyah"(sic) Sunset built S&S. Unless its not. 131'? Can't ever remember.

Maldwin, did the "New" Rybo Cruiser you saw in Camden have a Florida hail port? I know were it lives in N. Palm if so. Watched that boat being built, very nice.

I think so, but it was 15 months ago

It's a 24'. First time I've ever seen one in black. Peter wasn't silly enough to cast one in the "singe in summer" color, so I'll speculate it's been painted. From the distance, it looked like Krylon. Or was it Crayola?

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support. Glad to bring the masses these photos. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy taking them.

This particular Huckins was sold out of a west coast Florida estate last year right at or just under the 100k mark, with the name of Owl at the time. Amazing values to be had with these older Huckins; I believe Beeswing/Seahorse/Owl/Seahorse was quite recently repowered with late model 8.3 Cummins. She needed a fair bit of sprucing up at the time of sale.

Great yacht shots!

Did you happen to catch the name of that Donzi on page 2? I think that's the exact same 1991 65' Donzi I almost bought a few years ago. If I'm not mistaken it's the Hello Dolly IV.

coonfish · 03-15-2010, 11:52 AM

Definitely not the Dolly, I am about 99% sure. I have spent a lot of time on her.

Manny · 03-15-2010, 03:06 PM

I'm not surprised if I'm wrong. It was very long ago, and sometimes I get my boat names mixed. Only thing I remember for sure about the one I almost bought is that it was a 1991.
