Christ that is fugly...never seen a perkins that new looking tho

One word, Sawzall!

"ready to fish w/ four rod holders" the ad days, and the world's smallest cockpit. But you won't get a sunburn. And all that horsepower is great for a breaking inlet too....

Seems like a fuck-up of a good hull. Not a bad boat for cruising LI sound though. Only 12 years old.

True but for someone looking for a trawler with a downeast hull to do some long distance cruising...that absolutely HATES the sun, this would probably be exactly what they're looking for.

 

[petrel]

Humor, man, humor. Point was it ain't no fishing boat as is. Not even close. But there are people looking for a rig such as that no doubt. Hint, hint.

 

[Badlatitude]

That thing is an abortion.

 

[petrel]

LMAO; Be honest. What do you guys really think? I think the combination of factors- length and sheer- makes it hard to make an attractive cruiser out of that boat. Those hulls look much better in a work boat layout.

 

[BOSBoatMan]

True, petrel. But I like it is as a cruiser. That's an all weather boat. I can see an olde-timer way upcoast Maine running something like that. Hell, I could see myself running it.

Probably cut off the headliner aft and open that up some....but for an all weather boat, methinks it kinda cool. Note also that I am not also one who works a downeast for a living

 

[Badlatitude]

Oh my comment had nothing to do with looks lol. But yeah its ugly as sin too. That's nothing a sawzall cant fix though.


shoddy work
cheap electrical panels
deck screws!
unfinished wood all over the bilge

Looks like a slightly skilled person with an amazing lack of knowledge or lots of bad advice built that boat.

That has been on the market for a long time. That Perkins and its HP has to go! The sawzal idea sounds like a good one! Was there a thread recently about a stringer delaminating on a RP 35? There seams to be a lot of them for sale. Wonder if the construction is not up to par on RPs?
