    Hello,

    I came across a photo of this vessel and have had no luck finding any information on it. If there is anyone that can point me to or other share information on this vessel I would be greatful.

    Thanks

    You came across a photo??
    We may be of better help if we could see the photo, know when & where the photo was taken or who(m) took the photo. Maybe any other history of the photo,, at a boat show maybe?
    Were not psychics here.
    What information are you looking for? About the boat, crew or paint color code??

    Title of his thread indicates Burger. Quick search finds this bot on the Burger Boat Co web site.

    So, again, what do you want to know? Something that that web site can not answer?

    My crystal ball is out for service.
    Something about I-Ball calibration with the web..

    Well, I'm assuming that I have the right vessel as my vision can't quite make out his photo. Otherwise, the boat is featured on the burger boat co web site as one of their historical fleet. Beyond that we're left guessing as to what information he's seeking...

    Sorry for not posting the photo.

    The one posted by rtrafford is the one I saw.

    As for what I'm looking for was if anyone has seen this boat, any original documents on this boat as Burger does not have any I asked or any other information. Simply found it stunning and was curious about where it could have ended up and what might be know.

    It’s on the Burger web site as a member of their historical fleet. As it was wooden it’s possible it didn’t survive.
