The word "rogue" is defined with various meanings in a wide selection of dictionaries. May I present an image that could very well define "our" meaning... the 1982 55' Hickman Sea Sled.

If you add an addition to a home... it increases in value.
If you add an extension to a yacht... it increases in value.
Not sure what happens to the value on this one... but the expression on the face of a Sea Ray purist would be priceless...

Indeed a great thread.
Carl has, in #55, my vote for the ugliest boat so far. It is a little known fact that the Hickman Sea Sled ( a much smaller but more handsome boat) way back when was the precursor to the Boston Whaler, late '50s-early '60s?
And the Sea Ray in #56... oops, WATCH OUT! Don't step in the puke that Connie Ray just left behind!  | |

Aha! That explains the cat-hedral (new word?) hull on that thing. Thanks Loren!

It looks like Jack isn't immune to the Rogue's thread either!  Word is, this was one of his designs...

The house & bridge looks like Hargrave... but the bow looks like an old Stapleton, the transom looks kinda custom. Are those engine air intakes all the way aft? Vee drives, maybe... Jack did do one Hatteras, the 64 MY, with vee drives (and it was such a screaming success, that was the ONLY Hat ever built with engines facing the 'wrong' way).
Carl, you have unimpeachable sources, certainly, but this boat is very much unlike all the other stuff that Jack penned.  | |

I was surprised too. Came across it on YachtWorld last night. Although it was late and I was tired, when I saw it I had to look twice, rub my eyes, and re-read it again. The listing said it was custom built from a Jack Hargrave design. Had to right click it and save it. Couldn't believe it!
I just looked for the listing, to provide a link, but I can't seem to find it now. | |

Carl, the YW link to "Martha L" is below: https://www.boatwizard.com/core/list...rl=re alships
The listing mentions a 1996 build date. Jack Hargrave, rest his soul, went to his maker in February of that year.
While Jack was a prolific designer, his stuff was all so 'buttoned-down' ( I love that timeless look) and so I have a hard time with this one.
I'll bet you a 'burger (no pun intended) that he didn't do this one.

Found it!
“This 1996 78’ Custom Aluminum cockpit motor yacht was designed by the legendary naval architect Jack B Hargrave. She was built to very high standards and has many features including a 20’ tender and satellite TV throughout. “MARTHA L” would make a great live aboard or Bahamas cruiser! “ http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi..._id=73094&url= | |

At first I took this for two boats side by side, but it was all on the same hull so I took a picture for our little collection...  | |
