    On a cruise to Tangalooma, we came across this “rogue”.
    What makes this so Aussie, is that as I went past, a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo came waddling out the pilothouse door, climbed up the rails and checked me out.

    This will qualify!

    I think, this very nice boat will qualify for the rogues thread. It even has a glass bottom. So, if it floats upside down, people can look out of the window.:D And it is probably less ugly, when upside down. A good donation to the navy, to sink it ASAP.

    Does anyone recall the details on this boat? I saw it last year and posted it way back in the thread but can't find any information on what it is, anyone know?

    Milo

    That would be MILO ex ZUES, 1993 Pedrick designer and built by Robertson / Broward Marine, 150' cold molded.

    Sat at pier 66 for years with the worlds largest carbon fiber mast for years, damaged in Puerto Rica then ashore at the old Allied yard in Miami for a few more years before sitting in a shed on the Miami river where the major refurbishment started, went up to Rybovich to finish the work including stepping the mast.

    Went to Europe on its own bottom before coming back here at the end of last year then down to the islands.

    I remember Zeus well from my Ft. Lauderdale. Hardly looks the same. Just looks like a motorsailer sans masts.:(

    Here is a mildly amusing read on the first of the boats in the previous post:

    I was down near a marina in Milwaukee.

    There might be a photo of the Carver in here, but not sure on the other one. Any ideas?

    I just can't get past the bloated look of the Carver. Nice interior though.

    Looks like a Florida Bay Coaster. There's a similar type I remember seeing for sale in the Somon's on Chesepeak Bay which it could be also, because I don't remember seeing a FBC that small.

    Good guess, Ed, close, but not quite. It's a Great Harbour 37. I've sold both Great Harbours and Florida Bay Coasters, the former being fiberglass, the latter are steel. They have similar attributes, including humongous live-aboard space, but both obviously have a lot of windage... and as with many vessels in this thread, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (x2).

    Eagle I

    Would that "thing" qualify for this thread? Its called by the people "Shoe box" and is a ferry on the Kiel canal. To call her Eagle I, sounds like blasphemy, but her owner is the Adler (Eagle) shipping company.

    Believe it or not, that shoe box is a fully certified commercial vessel and certified for the transport of 50 people. And I have no f...... idea what that F stands for. This company is known for her strange collection of passenger vessels, mainly for coastal sight seeing duties.

    Below some extreme examples

    A few small ferries (German: Fähre) display a F on both sides.
    I did not find a reference in a quick search.

    Chasm was mostly correct. The big F on both sides of this little ferry means Fähre (the German word for ferry). This letter is the official designation for inland ferries (crossing rivers, lakes and canals) regardless of their size. It gives them traffic priority (when seen by the big boys). But ferry captains with a minimum amount of common sense do not count on that. Most famous last words of the skipper of a small ferry run over by a 10.000 ton cargo vessel going downstream on a large river: But I had the right of way :) !
