Yacht Watching; Palm Beach - October 2009

24 or 28 Skater, hard to tell...

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?

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.

Hello Dolly

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

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.

How sweet it is!

Yep, 191' of painted and polished aluminum from top to bottom and bow to stern; delivered new in 2008 and now being aggressively marketed for chartering.

Sigh...........
