Where is that supply boat conversion mega thread, what happened?

[Anthony]

A few years ago there was large thread about a guy converting an old supply ship and some people thought he was trolling but turned out he really did own it. I was away for a while after that and now I can find that thread, but am intrigued to know how it turned out. Does the thread still exists (and I just cant find the right keywords to locate it), did the conversion get completed?

Thanks

Sorry to disappoint you but IIRC he lost interest and it was scrapped!

A bit like the would be yachttie who was rebuilding an old hull with home made electric propulsion

Really? Wow! He must have spent a ton of money on purchase, transport and storage costs, just for the early phase I saw.

Shame, it was an interesting thread, but I always wondered what the final outcome would have been like. It seems when boats like that are converted to private use it is normally as a support boat for a mega yacht rather than the primary vessel.
