Labour of love...........

Found this today while searching for something else.

Malahide Trawler built from my home town, I even remember this boat being built as we as kids mucked about around the boat yard.

The owner of this must be a man obsessed with detail and finish, she is just stunning, don't think I have seen such work on anything short of a superyacht.

At around £1.5m a real bargain, that sort of money wouldn't even build the frames and basic structure, oh, and that price includes a brand new boat house to preserve your pride and joy!.

Thank heavens for owners like this..........well done that man, my hero /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Good one /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Well if a picture saves a thousand words, this brochure saved a lot of typing.

That is the best boat brochure I've come across. Sure beats the usual "sistership" images.

Was she really built in Malahide?

If you but this one Trev, then chuck out the telly as you will spend the rest of your life with a brush & varnish /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Located in Puget Sound WA.

Wow that's where the USS Houston - SSN-713 Submarine had her last refit. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

If you buy this boat you won't be an owner but more of a custodian, keep your life and buy an Absolute! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yep sure was, the shipyard was where all the Apartments are now.

Spent many happy hours wandering around as a kid watching the old boys do their thing, they were really interested in showing you stuff and telling stories about daring do, suppose they are all gone now and much of what they knew gone with them.

How comprehensive is that online brochure ?

 

[Sundays_Child]

WOW!

Talk about pristine! What a gorgeous boat. Would definitely need a full timer to look after her though.

Oi you lot.............. get back to your plastic boats.
I get a load of stick about my miniature version of this!

Lotto has been done again and guess what I want if I win!

I thought I was a lifelong raggie, but having seen that I realise that I am a closet mobo! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well, what can anyone say other than WOW!

Its a life's work keeping it looking that way though

Allright, so some of us plastic boaters could be converted /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
