Here is my boat a British built steel Edwardian style replica motor vessel.
60' long, beam 14', draught 4', and airdraft 10'. About 50 tons. Gardner 6cyl diesel. Naval Architect designed from a picture we supplied. Capable of crossing over to Europe and going onto their inland waterways hence the draft and airdraft.
A tad big for us, but nice;

What a desirable boat. The Dutch sure can build a great looking steel hull.A tad big for us, but nice;

Murray, glad the price was not an issue!!

Saw this recently at Tarpon Point marina in FL. It's a round "boat" with a gas outboard and a BBQ gill in the middle that people with little experience can rent. What could possibly go wrong!
You can see a Weber style grill on the boat in the background.

Also how much more work is a steel boat as opposed to a fiberglass one? I keep hearing/reading that epoxies have changed everything and that there is no more constant chipping and painting, can this be true? There is a nice 54' Vripack that we want to see as well, but we wonder if our yearly maintenance budget will be used up on fighting rust.
If the "round BBQ boat" breaks down, call this guy for a tow....
I’ve seen the round party boats in Cartagena, and here in Grenada. Both were available bareboat or $20/hr for captain. The ones in Cartagena had smallish hp outboard, the one here has an 18hp.

Sand blasting or CO2 blasting has replaced the chipping hammer, thankfully.
Per the engine, no electronics. It either works or doesn't work. I suspect it is a cable controlled throttle and clutch.
Per the engine: when it doesn't work, are there lots of mechanics around trained in Gardener engines? Do you need to fly in a team from the UK to do an in-frame overhaul? I am pretty sure that we could get timely Volvo or MAN service most anywhere in NA with just a hit to my wallet, but I am not so sure about Gardener. Internet gossip has it that these engines never wear out, but we all know that cannot be true.........
