A 1966 57' Roamer that I sold had 5/16" 5086 plating on hull sides and bottom. Confirmed with audio-gauge testing.
The "brents" one line posting is quoted in my response #26. It's amazing how often this thread pops up.
Greetings brents, Welcome to YachtForums. Interesting first post. To be fair, the dealers are listed but it takes quite a bit of "clicking...
Thank you Lars!
If you Google "Elco yacht Frolic" quite a few images pop up.
Reviving an older thread: Spotted this interesting yacht yesterday at a dock in Indian Creek Village, Miami. Anyone know who built her? [ATTACH]
1939 Elco 44' "Frolic" seems to be alive and well. She was last sold in Charleston in 2010. I sold her in Maryland in the late '90's to a...
Wow, I would love to see her up close!
I remember seeing Bonaparte at Nat Liq. I'm very pleased to hear that someone has given her new life. Pascal it would be great if you can snap a...
Handsome yacht!
Does your boat have a radar arch? If not, you'll clear easily with the bimini down. If you have an arch with stuff mounted on top, you will...
The acceleration in my MB 3.2l bluetec will throw you back in the seat. It's quite remarkable.
Ocean Yachts quality in the 2004 vintage was head and shoulders above the older product. The 04 50 with the Series 60 MTU's IMHO is a wonderful...
Agreed. The early M's were terrible. I have 2 later models in the current fleet (along with 2 E's - a sedan and a 4matic wagon) My ML350 gas lives...
You've really got some nice old hardware there. Good that your loss can perhaps help save another Huckins. I think that posting parts for sale...
Was your 64' Pacemaker built of wood? The 66' Pacemaker that John Glenn owned was fiberglass. The profiles of the 2 boats was quite different.
I've seen some chatter that suggests she may soon end up in the hands of a very experienced Mathis/Trumpy restorer. Don't count her out quite yet.
AFAIK John Glenn never owned a Trumpy. The yacht that he kept at Chesapeake Harbor was a 66' Pacemaker named "SENIRAM" which is MARINES spelled...
In this last photo the name "Irwin" is clearly visible. I agree, same boat. She sure did have a big refit at some point. Perhaps when she was...
I'm not convinced that's the same boat. The stack and masts are different. And the sheer line at the bow looks different. The porthole and window...
