I think the Sharpie hand labeling the valves was that extra personal touch that puts it over the top... No it's not photo-shopped. It's a real boat. Their website touts it as the ultimate trawler. I think whoever bought the deal was sold what they wanted without knowing the details. I don't think we need Steve D'Antonio to tell us that it isn't up to ABYC, but I bet whoever talked to the original customer would have said it was up there with running water, flush toilets and sliced bread.
I was impressed with some of the boat but asked the listing agent why he didn't post any engine room photos. He said the owner had an accident and had not gotten them to him, yet the listing has a website URL about the boat with lots of details and photos.
I think someone grafted a nice boat onto a party barge... No, Healhustler didn't photoshop this. it's real!
