Trying to maximize area while minimizing depth. Charlie Morgan grew up in Tampa, and Tampa Bay is a relatively shallow place.

Winston29 71 #12522 Posted September 11, 2019 As the happy owner of a small camper-van, I really don't mock the boat itself. I think it's a pretty cool idea and something that could be very relaxing for a long weekend spent on the Delta........... but the price??? $15,000?! Welcome to the SF Bay Area where people think whatever they're selling is made of gold. Or maybe it's believed that if you can afford to live here, you can afford to pay more for their listed items. Unfortunately it seems these Sea Campers have a following like VW camper-vans or Harley Davidson, so they carry a higher price. At least in the minds of the sellers. It appears this person fitted a larger, more modern OB engine to the stern. I believe this boat is supposed to have a much smaller inboard engine. My main concern would be that adding an additional 60+hp to the transom of a fiberglass hull, might create some structural integrity issues. It sure is ugly, but I can easily imagine relaxing weekends spent fishing or just hanging out on the deck or roof with a cold drink. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/boa/d/emeryville-1972-sea-camper-26-houseboat/6974238113.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never said buffer...what I said was chainsaw, band sawmills, planner, hammer, wooden pegs cut slightly oversized, and plenty of lead and bolts. Helps if one has skill at casting large quantities of lead because I am very sure this 90% complete boat has had its keel/ballast sold off to a scrap metal dealer. Of course to save money and the environment, a broad ax, a two man crosscut saw and an adz and draw knife might REALLY enhance the “elbow” grease experience.

Autonomous 341 #12534 Posted September 15, 2019 I have a hard time giving a sail to power conversion any credit as I've heard they tend to be rolling pukers, You'd have to prove to me it isn't one. Maybe with the mass of the house this one is OK. Still, 30" draft on a powerboat this small negates any real gunkhole capability. The design and workmanship are way better than the usual backyard abortions that foul the waterways. The house does well in the rowaway category but it clashes with the hull. Sorry. Where are the large forward cockpit scuppers? Drop boards? It needs a water resistant hatch. Deal breaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norse Horse 606 #12575 Posted September 22, 2019 Such a pastoral scene, looking towards the penal colonies of Mission. A good hideout for the first 24 hours, albeit a might damp. Not sure of the pedigree here...mystery hull. " No two words go together quite as well as "free" and "sailboat" This beauty has apparently never seen the water. 50' length, 14' width. Fibreglass construction It is unfinished and needs the next chapter of construction. Trust me, you want this! Your wife will be ok with it! No tire kickers please. No I will not deliver it. This boat requires a crane or some sort of boat moving crew. Thanks " Free sailboat hull - boats - by owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was a twin keeler they could at least hook it to the Massey Ferguson and plow the back 40. Stand it on it's end and make a grain silo out of it.

I think it was one of those "We'll build 6 and mine will be the profit" kind of deals that were so common in the 70's. Except they never built 6 - more like 2 or 3 and AFAIK none were ever completed. A guy had the bright finished plug across Grand Boulevard from me in the 80's. It was gorgeous but he let it deteriorate until it was used as a prop in some sort of disaster flick. That free hull cost somebody the price of a condo 40 years ago. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sail4beer 2,013 #12581 Posted September 22, 2019 I like the ladder stand off rack “blended” into the transom for the traveler support. Every time this evergreen shows up here, I find more to marvel at thanks to the ingenious mariners of Florida. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is just casting his net far and wide for a mullet to take this treasure. I saw this boat on the Maryland Craigslist, over a year and a half ago and then it appeared in Florida CL last year. - Stumbling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kind of puzzled how a person smart enough to build such a thing could not realize that boats have been built before and have at least seen a couple of them. There are some pics of it sailing on some of the earlier ads. The drain is also a product of original thought. FB- Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
