My new project... MFV Elizmor

[pvb]

There is nothing to expand on . it's a simple case of pay up and the boat gets launched. where is a program in that ??

I suspect that things will get much more interesting once the boat is launched!

......and all other fowl, I presume.

Perhaps it is me, but I don't think I have ever seen a nice MFV conversion. It just does not seem to work and they all end up looking like they have been forced into wearing an ill fitting MFI suit. Tacky DSP (Dog **** Pine) cladding and horrible laminate floors seem to complete the picture.

Seems to be ok for Dutch Barges.

Is that the one that sank last year while being converted?

Maybe the buyer can do a blog and contact Lewmar for a freebie...... i think they give them away.

Fenders look new though.

Nice fenders, though. Wonder where they came from.

Good video Dave
that must have cost more than the boat's worth

 

[chinita]

How come the dock suddenly goes from about 30ft wide to about half a mile wide?

It must have cost a lot more than the boat was worth, assume it was a salvage job?

What a coincidence.

One side was a barge.

Thank you. However I think it is doing very well without our help!

Maybe, but I didn't want to feel left out!

(After all I have spent enough of my life reading the thread!)

BTW did anyone think of using a floating crane?
