I really like these Albin 27's but there should be a law or guidelines as to what and how to make additions!
Normally I would say it isn't fair to post houseboats because most of them would be too easy too include on this thread and it just wouldn't be sporting. They are practical for what they are intended to be, but I have yet to see one I would call beautiful (someone prove me wrong, please). This one though takes fugly houseboat to a new level...
Since paint jobs are fair game the first boat might be a "winner" on both counts. It looks like a nice hull design got saddled with a lifetime burden on the second boat.
Guys, Let's refrain from comments in this thread, so we don't dilute the dreadfulness of the designs. It's hard for me not to make comments too, therefore we opened a thread specifically to rant about rogues, here... http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/general-yachting-discussion/15726-fugly-boats.html Your cooperation will result in the continued viewing pleasure (and pain!) of others.
These boats were built in the 1970's and I can't recall the name, but it contained the word "cutter". Bad memory aside, check out the hand painted bootstripe...
The name did indeed contain the word 'cutter' since she was [cue drumroll] a Cutter. One of these 28' x 8' w/ Volvo diesel crossed the Atlantic back in the '70s.
