Could it be a Cheoy Lee Seamaster. Very capable vessel. One of my favorites.

Reminds me of a clean version of Captain Quint’s Orca.
Wow...will look forward to the details, but one photo and a Gardner for power is a good start.

Here too, for some pix (stfw is handy):

whats the wheel on the instrument panel?
Dang...I love that Willard 40, and I know the Fly bimini is really a great feature, but I hate what it does to the style of that particular boat.
Agreed. The "FB deck" best uses would be storing the dinghy, the kayaks, and a platform for solar panels. But a great looking boat,either way.Dang...I love that Willard 40, and I know the Fly bimini is really a great feature, but I hate what it does to the style of that particular boat.
I`m seeing to the right of the wheel a red knobbed lever - throttle, and a black - transmission? Therefore the wheel?If you notice, no transmission shifter. Everything is accomplished by adjusting the propeller. Neat, eh?

Hey Dan,The wheel changes the pitch of the prop.... The knob gives you something to hold as you spin the pitch of the prop for fwd and reverse and all pitches in between, for efficiency.
Hey Dan,
Don`t want to make this a big deal but maybe we are looking at different pictures - the one I am looking at, to the right of the wheel is a chrome quadrant with two shifters - one red for throttle, one black for, I assume , shifting as is normal on 99.9% of boats. The wheel does have a knob/handle on its rim to grip when spinning it - perhaps the tranny shifts normally and the wheel "fine tunes" the pitch of the prop?
Some controllable pitch setups have a simple clutch in / out for a true neutral. Otherwise the shaft and prop are rotating at all times the main is running. And if the main's RPM is higher than the desired shaft RPM a transmission is required.
Found this 40' "diamond in the rough" on the Nordhavn brokerage page. Not much in details, but would be worth a look if one was willing to put in a little work:

Me-thinks it's overpowered and the fuel tanks are too small, but interesting anyways.
Now that's a BUNCH of HP.
Yup, more picture please

Hate to say it, but she is gorgeous up close. I didn’t call the broker for a closer look as I’m too scared it could lead to stupid decisions.
