Sure looks like a nice Retirement home.
I like Sea Food of all kinds. That looks like good table fare every evening.
 
Pretty nice I have been following this builder there is something about their styling that doesn't tickle my fancy.

Two good friends of ours own that boat. They used to be in our marina, but moved to Summit North on the C&D canal. The are taking delivery very soon.
 
It's way more expensive than my Monk but the lines on that boat do not agree with me personally. I'll stick with my monk. :)
 
Did the painters forget to take down their scaffolding?
 
Looks a tad top heavy even if it's not.
 
A strong contender to de-throne carver's Mariner as the most ugly production boat!!!

I can understand that with a sub 40 footer you have to sacrifice looks for space but in a 50 footer??? That freeboard is way too low, that house is way too tall, Only 2 staterooms in a 55 footer?? No Overhang above the PH doors is stupid...

And they want $1.5 M for this thing??

lol

Honestly, it looks like someone took a picture of a good-looking boat and used it as a PhotoShop project to make an awkward mess.

Nope! It's an awhward mess all on its own. [^]
 
awful design. Too tall, wasted aft space no boat deck. no cover over doors etc etc. I'll bet it rolls like a drunken sailor.
 
" I'll bet it rolls like a drunken sailor."

Why do you think it comes standard with gyro stab?

When i saw the picture in this month PMY, I almost spilled my coffee!

Ain't that the truth!

This thing reminds me of a mono-hull version of the Endeavour Cat 48:

However, for as ugly as that cat is on the outside, the inside is absolutely breathtaking (the owners of hull #2 gave us a tour a couple years ago). I would actually consider this boat, regardless of looks, as it is at least quite sea worthy, somewhat economical, and priced at around $800-900k (not that I'll be dropping that cash any time soon). A new trend I've been noticing lately as well, multi-hulls are being price lower than mono-hulls. That never used to be the case.
 
Gotta love boat snobs, LOL. Hey, my "ugly" Mariner is MUCHO better looking than that thing...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
