Guys,
Let's refrain from comments in this thread, so we don't dilute the dreadfulness of the designs. It's hard for me not to make comments too, therefore we opened a thread specifically to rant about rogues, here... http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/ge...gly-boats.html
Your cooperation will result in the continued viewing pleasure (and pain!) of others.

These boats were built in the 1970's and I can't recall the name, but it contained the word "cutter". Bad memory aside, check out the hand painted bootstripe...

This is the new Finnish Presidential Yacht. Can't say I'm a fan of Fin design...

One of these 28' x 8' w/ Volvo diesel crossed the Atlantic back in the '70s.

Cheating a bit, but a car with a nautical theme.

Why bother making a new skylounge mold for Riviera's 53' sportfish, when the mold from Riviera's 70' skylounge will work perfectly. |

Even Fexas would have rolled his eyes...

Same-Same!
The image is a Maritimo.
This is a Barry-Cotter boat. He created/owned Riviera before a management buyout gave him a BIG lot of capital and for some reason, a BAD taste in his mouth toward the same people who bought him out at Riviera!
When he started Maritimo, he went for the bigger boat buyers of Riviera, which many believe helped send Riviera to the wall.
Soon Riviera’s started to look like Maritimo!
Coincidence?
BTW, some call these the marine “Pope mobile”!

This was being towed to it's dock space at Gold coast marina. There are quite a few of these in Hong Kong that people live on. Most of them have a single small diesel for moving around. |
