Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

[Bill 310]

Always thought this model needed another side window.

That boat has a soft rear enclosure, and from the side it looks like Robert may have built a shorter cabin to order to give a longer cockpit for fishing.

Robert told me that it was pretty common for the more serious fishing types to go with a drop curtain and a shorter cabin. That boat has a drop curtain as opposed to a solid door and bulkhead.

Without a tape measure the existing side windows look shorter than on our boat and the rear cabin panel appears just too short to get another window installed.

It is nice to see how well his boats age into a kind of timeless state. The quality of the build endures.

Any idea why this would have those visible belt sander marks on the hull? To remove oxidation? I think you wrapped your hull, or the cabin.

I have no idea what those marks are from. Robert was not one who recommended painting his boats, once he saw how well wrap looked and lasted. Perhaps that boat was painted at some point.

We wrapped our cabin and are lettting the hull and railings weather. We have the same stern wheel set up but didn't run controls at this time. (no kicker) Accoridng to the folks at Breakers installing a rear set of controls for one engine is a pretty simple job, becasue of the way Robert left room to run another set of control cables.

It appears that that boat was built before Robert started using the Lone Star Anchor set-up. I can run everything from my seat and we added in the line counter last year. No climbing up on the foredeck when things are blowing and rolling.

Two brothers one in Australia who designed and builds the system and his brother runs North American distribution. They are both Texans, and Oz brother followed his GF to OZ (she is an Ozzie) they met at Baylor) to get her to come back to Texas with him. I think they have 5 kids now and still live in Oz

175 hp seems light on power? I would think being a BW it's a heavier boat?

From the sales brochure at Thunderbird Yacht:

Mercury 175hp Supercharged Verado Power – Smooth, quiet, and fuel efficient. The owner reports a top speed over 50 knots. And an easy cruise at 30mph. With 1412 hours total. Serviced yearly with receipts. Most recent major service was new high pressure and low pressure fuel pumps.

I took a photo of our boat's window, it looks to be much longer.

The forward slope your builder uses looks great. An effective way to give a feel of more space up front.

looks great, helps with night glare. every high speed forward lean boat should require bow combing to break a wave impact apart. the kingfisher i owned had this and it saved the wipers and windows on many occasions.

Why owning an Axopar isn’t a good idea especially for the West Coast. I have two buddies with them, great Gulf Island boats, one likes to cross the straight but his gas tank is a little small, and god help him if takes one on the nose like that one in WA last year.
