magnetman Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Built by original owner in 1985. Basically a small copy of a Trawler. Full seagoing design with door clamps to batten it all closed. Twin BMC 1.5s. It's amazing. Like a work of art. The front cabin has 6ft4 headroom and 3 bunks. Wheelhouse is the living cabin with a lowered shower and toilet compartment. Engines in own room and open stern deck like a fishing boat. Also has two derrick cranes for loading heavy items, mounted on a folding radar arch. This was it out of water a 3 weeks ago when I bought it. All steel. No external wood. Windows (all 25 of them) are 6mm polycarbonate. Edited November 4, 2019 by magnetman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very nicely done cabin that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharl Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 the terms can be interchanged....I think Turtleback was the name given on the Pre-WW1 Era destroyers, whilst whaleback comes from the fishing industry. basically the same design , from the outside it looks very smart!

As Dharl mentions, the term Whaleback is used mostly in the fishing industry. A use of the descroption Turtleback is explained here in this link which describes its use on the Great Lakes in relation to tug/fishing vessels. http://www.greatlakesfisheriestrail.org/collection.asp?ait=jv&jid=10 Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
