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...  | |

That is amazing Lars! Seems as though they could have built a real boat with the same effort?
As for Orion's "battleship", looks like a great party boat to me. Bring on the bar and dancing girls.

Another funny combination from february this year. Saving in on two captains or...? No, going to the winter rest before it became all ice...  | |

But the worst I have seen coming by is this one. With a 50 hp Merc and "rope steering" by the guy up on the "flybridge"... | |

Maybe I should complete the picture of what I can see during winter. This hovercraft is not built for beauty contests but with the ice it has become a real Walrus! | |
