    Here you go:
    "A little bit about In Decent Seas II
    It’s a custom trawler (fiberglass, painted) built in Vancouver B.C in 2000 by a small commercial fishing vessel manufacturer (now out of business)
    Patrick Bray, also from B.C. naval architect, designed it for Passage making.
    It’s a floating set of tanks. 300 gal fresh water, 150 black, 300 gray water, 6 diesel tanks for just over 1400 gal."

    Sorry about the FB source, I got kicked off three times harvesting the info.

    Thanks, much appreciated.
    I thought she was metal for sure, most likely aluminum, but not so.
    Passage making sounds good, I wouldn’t mind doing some of that, but The Mona Passage is the only one on my menu, way too lazy for a big ocean crossing but the tankage is good for island hopping as well.
    Is she listed for sale?

    Facebook wouldn't let this Infidel get any closer, but my guess would be that the Google search would have favored sell listings, which I didn't see at the top.
    The bingo winner was Google and "yacht "In Decent Seas" '

    She had the great loop pendant on her bow.
    Smart looking hull.
    If not a jungle-gym crawling thru on the insides, I could be interested my self.

    Not only you Capt. Ralph: On the Face Book page showing the pictures a whole bunch of folks commenting and offered to buy the boat despite it not being for sale.
    Where is our design guru Mr. AMG?
    Draw up a similar sturdy looking boat with features like big tanks, a workable engine room, a small single engine diesel and bow/stern thruster but not as luxurious and pricy as a Nordhavn, more like a Buick which was marketed as the working man’s Cadillac back in the day.
    I would jump:cool:

    Well, yes but mostly no: Those are contemporary new style yachts/trawlers, whatever, like something in between Nordhavns and Benetau Swifts.
    Not my cup of tea, I like the workboat/explorer type better.
    To attract females a luxurious and expensive type yacht is obviously better, but a rough and tough little boat like this one can go places slowly but surely.
    Nor for sale, where is Lars? :cool:

    Norse's words are polite in a sense, I would rather state, on a retired old man budget, these are not going to happen.

    Don't cormorants dive and spend quite some time under water ?
    Odd choice of a name.

    Three different people sent me this video yesterday. For some reason, it's frowned upon to restomod certain cars. Muscle cars with yesteryear's underpinnings can definitely benefit from today's tech but the NSX represented a level of refinement that purists believe should be left unmolested.

    If there was one thing missing with the 1st gen NSX, it was a working crystal ball. I always knew these cars would go up in value one day, hence I held my last one for 10 years. Had no idea low mileage examples would fetch Ferrari money today. I sold my last NSX to keep YF afloat thinking the business would pay me back one day. My crystal ball was clearly broken.
