40 feet beam... I am wondering where he is docking for pump out

No need to pump out. Has its own sewage treatment plant in the basement. Odors vent through holes in the million pound each stilt lifting legs on boat bottom!

Bruce,
I’m quite sure the anchor is a product of New Zealand or Australia. Most likely ARA. They make numerous specialized local products like commercial fishing for certain bottom types. Am I lusting after it .. no. But if I had used that the other day I prolly wouldn’t have picked up that clam and stuff.
As for the boat I’m wonder’in what’s the madder wid you guys. She’s a bit above average on my beauty scale and looks a tad like a KK42. I’d buy her if I liked the engine, hull design ect. Didn’t look at the whole thing but she’s likely a FD hull. A good FD hull isn’t easy to find.

Have a pump-out boat come to the boat instead of trying to find a one sided dock.
Per docking, with the hydraulic legs, just raise it up out of the water.

The odd part is the access either side to the FB/upper deck. I`d say newish twin Nanni(Renault) diesels are a plus, and the power quite adequate whether SD or FD.
Interior space flows like set epoxy. The joinery, though aged, looks a little GBish.
Fairly sure allegations in past adverts were "built in the GB factory". Maybe Singapore?

That boat's splatter job hurts my eyes. I do like that trophy leaning against the fence. Girls like that are just an old man's fantasy for me.

I submit the following for my first submission to this thread:
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/boa/d/34-trawler/6674003916.html
Those bow facing portholes definitely qualify as interesting!

On an ocean going vessel in that era, you didn't want large windows facing forward where you could easily lose them when green water comes over the bow. Once they're gone, your boat fills up with water and sinks. It takes more force to break a small window vs. a large one.

That boat is just weird.
While I agree, I believe those portholes were once on the side of the cabin and moved to the front when the cabin was reworked.

Update
Another update on the stainless steel houseboat lurking around Tampa Bay, from the Tampa Bay Times. Top speed in sea trial was 4 mph, ouch. (They are planning on trying a different prop.)

I can only imagine with WOT doing 4mph... cruise must be 2.5 to 3 mph. "Going No Where Fast" should be the name!

From the article..
The Rendezvous 2018 cost $12 million and took 42 months to build. It has a top speed of 6.8 knots.
Seriously, $12mill?
How do people that stupid get money like that?

SHRUG I'm not a B/W sort of guy. I need a bit of muted color in my life.

A reference to the interior color selection.
On my boat, that is British Racing Green. Makes the boat go faster SMILE
At least the hull is not all white or yellow or blue or FL turquoise of FL Pink or black

I love the view of the ER when sitting in the salon!

Or top down view of the seakeeper from the cockpit porthole. I wonder how noisy the boat is, since there isn't much sound reduction from glass. A couple of DD's on one side and your salon on the other...
On the other hand, it's probably the oldest boat with a seakeeper installed aboard.

Do go-fast narco subs qualify as interesting boats? Some wild stuff here.

I think a better strategy would be something kin to the Wave Glider by Liquid Robotics (aka boeing). These things are nearly silent and could be built to carry cargo autonomously anywhere in fairly small quantities. Disguise it to look like floating sargasso grass on the surface and no one would be the wiser...

Here is an alternate, but has a higher visible structure...

I like the modern interior on a classic boat.
