Boat For Sale Auction …No Reserve…
Some nice sail boats, paddle craft, and Power boats….


….including this Cobalt looking more than OK if you can get a replacement V-6 engine and Alpha drive it needs. All are up for final auction to the highest bidder starting at 1 PM on Sat at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum off Talbot (the main street) Street, in St, Michaels, MD.

This speedster is a sanding night mare right now but should get you to where the fish are biting after that work is done.
Oh, what to do?
Your 330 model name boat is 35’ 3” LOA and your competitor slaps a 330 Sun Dancer label on his 33’ 4” boat. AND then, a 350 model name on his 35’ 6” boat.
What to do. You have a 350 model that has a 37’ 0” LOA. Why are yours so big?. So you look to boat beam to see how you stack up. Your 330 model has a 11’ 3” beam, their 330 a 10’ 5” and their 350 a 11’ 6”. So there is no hope there.
In the end they bumped the 330 to read 340 and that is another some what interesting seabuddy boating business story.

Truth in Advertising in boats sales
How about you walk into a boat dealer that advertises that it stocks 15 different models from two different boat builders and realizing that right in the middle of you are finally committed to getting-a-boat action statement or your boat buying process, that the retail boat dealer’s company ad or the boat dealer web site said something and presented a far different image in your mind than what you drove all that way to see, buy, and enjoy cruising /water sports on the water, RIGHT NOW.
The Monterey 400 Sport Yacht / Volvo IPS

Powered with Volvo’s revolutionary Inboard Propulsion System (IPS) the 400 is one of the first models of any boat manufacturer to be designed around Volvo’s IPS propulsion system. A range of over 350 miles at a cruising speed as low as 26 mph or as high as 35 mph shows how a sport yacht can be designed to get all the extra performance from the Volvo IPS that it offers to a boater. Top speed for the yacht is over 41 mph with the IPS also.

Wood Boat Building

This boat is getting its hull finished up prior to moving onto constructing the deck. The highest cross braces “hold” the fair shape of the boat while it is still without a deck. Even when a boat is under restoration and major parts come off for new wood or Git Rot peservative, such temporary bracing is used to hold the boat’s shape.
