I definitely see Seacart-style water stays:

Could just be the angle...but there's something 'off' about that starboard hull...

[Mr.Salty]

All the more funny/tragic if you figure just how hard it is to find a spot that accepts liveaboards in Hawaii.

$40 a month? Maybe in Iowa.

Anybody else see something not quite correct with this light?

( B) A vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre, except a vessel engaged in mine-clearance operations, shall exhibit:

1. three all-round lights in a vertical line where they can best be seen. The highest and lowest of these lights shall be red and the middle light shall be white;

2. three shapes in a vertical line where they can best be seen. The highest and lowest of these shapes shall be balls and the middle one a diamond;

3. when making way through the water, a masthead light or lights, sidelights and a sternlight, in addition to the lights prescribed in sub-paragraph (i);

4. when at anchor, in addition to the lights or shapes prescribed in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii), the light, lights or shape prescribed in Rule 30.

And on a real boat, this green starboard light would not meet regulations because it could be visible from the port side

 

[Tabman]

Well sorta,

The port and starboard running lights should only be visible 22.5 degrees abaft the beam. This sucker will be visible 180 degrees abaft the beam!

 

[Pete M]

the story has eviction date june 14 - anybody pick that day yet?

 

[senormechanico]

I think that green navigation light has a reflector plate inside to prevent 180 degree light emission.

Seeing as how this boat will NEVER get within 2000 miles of the Hawaiian Islands, it really isn't an issue.

True, but it takes no boatbuilding or Mariner skills to do a simple cost of living comparison between Oahu and anyplace else.

The fact that he is so over-the-top dillusional about what awaits him out there combined with the rest of his fantasies should be

enough to get him fitted for a straight jacket.

 

[Oronoco]

Oahu is a lot less expensive than some of the other Hawaiian Islands, so he has that going for him.

 

[notallthere]

Could just be the angle...but there's something 'off' about that starboard hull...

*angle of the photo...

There are a couple new doghouses sticking up out of the hulls.... maybe a pair of elevators to get Mom downstairs?

I am thinking Dock Boxes...

My 10 minutes of research indicate that Oahu is the only island in the state that allows liveaboards.

I did not research and compare prices of all of the marinas where liveabord is allowed, but if the

prices of my example above are typical, Hotrod can expect to pay somewhere bewteen $5850 and

$6165 a month based upon his LOA (single hull) and whether or not the liveaboard fee is over and above the

cost of slip rental. Yikes!

Well spotted. I think the Dockmaster better do a count.

Dear Rod - the marinas around Honolulu are very expensive. There are several nice bays like Waimea you can anchor in on the north shore particularly in winter. Aloha.

I think youre last sentince makes know sence.

HotRod will need dock space once he gets to Hawaii, to be able to board his charter guests.

 

[Tabman]

Your write! I no its 90 degrees abaft is what I ment.
