If word gets out that $5k in welded pipes will convert a used express cruiser into a suitable sportfish, then open boat SF builders are in trouble...

Case in point, this Riviera 48 costs a whopping 1.4 million. Open/Express (you choose) Sportfish Boats remind me of the convertible automobile. You pay more, but you get less car...  | |

This is a 67-foot Rex Meyer (no, I never heard of it either) 1993 build which just sold for.... the envelope, please....a whopping $324,182.
If any of us who drew boats in fifth-grade homeroom ever came up with such a design and got caught by the teacher, we would have had an extra day of detention tacked on just for the sheer.

This Sea Ray is popular on your radar screen. She's in this same thread back at post # 175.

Of all the things I miss the most... it's my mind. | |

This little trawler was named "Rachel". If you look closely, you can see Rachel's bikini hanging from the handrail below the port salon window. Hhmmm... a naked girl named Rachel in Palm Beach. Sound familiar?

A new 84' Lazzara Enclosed Skylounge named "Touch the Sun". Kind of an oxymoron...

This is "Lady Moeshesha". At first glance, it's a Hatteras, right? While putting it through P-Shop, I began to question my instincts. I'm not sure now...

Here's a treat; a 1963 52' Rybovich named "Jim Jim"...

You would think rising fuel prices would make motor-sloopers mainstream again, but that would require operator skill. This is "Jamboree"...

Second glance and Jefferson would be my guess.

Without the tower that would be one gorgeous looking classic. I love the lines of the yachts from that era.  | |

Those 31 Bertrams ( posting #313) were a classic design, but what has always interested me is the apparent 'out of proportion' window height compared to the very low freeboard. It just worked out right somehow.

A beautiful, blue-hulled Burger named "Serenity". Notice the position of the Sat-Dome on the upper aft deck (behind the dinghy).
