Now this is "special" ebay 32' cat

I have never seen anything like this before.

And in the interests of full disclosure I said in the folding cat thread I was 2 kms from a boat ramp. I checked and it's 5.9. Oops...still an easy run...

 

Here's one on Gumtree, even has carbon masts !

O-M-G!!

It's bad enough when people built stuff like that decades ago but now ???

Also that's glass over ply and he's after $100k! It wouldn't be worth that finished.....Ply boats have nil resale in aus now. You get barely more than inventory for them.

Good find!

 

Someone's heart and soul and probably marriage.

 

BB,
nope he's been banging out crap like that for 30yrs, builds on spec, but usually boxy bbq pontoon catamarans in poly and csm. google Imp catamarans.

 

Okay, I'm a wacko, but somehow, at 40' I like it...could be fun...but it is one huge rig to be idle...dang near as big as our lake...

 

I looked the name up and there are two boats with that name registered and none match the HIN.

 

The 32 x 14ft cat was pretty awful. I guess you could take the top off, give it standing headroom and make it into a liveaboard houseboat. It has a reasonable amount of space, so not super cramped, about the only possibility left for it, I guess if you offered 500 dollars he would take it. Could be converted into a little houseboat for pottering around lakes in summer months. One thing with figerglass is that it does not rot. Could make a nice little project, of course all you're getting is two bare hulls, but that is a reasonable start.

So there is the possibility of a nice little project there, just a boxy cabin on top, standing headroom, potter about here and there.

The 65ft tri was yuck.

I googled imp catamarans, was not impressed
