Any idea what kind of boat this is?

Hi. I saw this boat a while back and am interested in finding out what it is. Any ideas who makes it or what type of boat I should be searching for?

thanks for the help

 

My instincts tell me she was made right there in that yard and they are still working on her.

 

What part of Canada are you from?
Were you visiting Alaska when you saw it?

 

Canada is a big place.
Where was the photo taken?
How long ago is "a while back"?
Was it finished inside?
What other info do you have that we don't know.

 

The pic was taken outside of vancouver. A place called delta.

 

Just outside vancouver.
Pic was taken in 2017. Just took it cause I thought it looked cool. And didn’t think anything of it. Now I would love to own it. Haha. I know its a shot in the dark but if anyone knew anything I figured it would be you guys.

 

Yes, I know Delta well.
Where in Delta?

 

That’s what I was afraid of. Now if someone could magically come up with a name of the style I could go search it and find a gold mine of rad looking boats that no one knows about.

 

It was so long ago. 2017. Haha. I’m no help to myself.

 

I see that there is another glass boat in the picture. Do you think that the place looked like a company that builds boats Ie were there other boats around?

Some observations that would open the possibility that it was maybe a prototype or a home build,
1) The roof has compound radiuses on the outside. This type of corner requires special machinery and many many hours to create these two edges. I have never seen this
edge available on any other production aluminum boat builders though it may have been the goal of the builder.
2) The roof slopes back to front so in rain, most of the roof foot print may contribute to water moving forward and coming down in front of the windows. When facing the wind, this
water would end up on the windshield and obscure visibility
I did not see a drip rail to mitigate this issue. Most builders have a longer brow above the windows as it helps keep rain water off the windshield so you do not have to run the wipers
continually, in light rain conditions
3) It is difficult to see the width of the chine strake near the bow. Most of the production builders will ensure that water generated from entering waves will be knocked down so it can not
end up on the windsheild. Mind you, again dificult to discern, there appears to be a bit of concavity just under the front gunwale.
4) If there is a bit of concavity in this area, the manufacturing process to develop this takes quite a bit of time. Build time is what most builders try to reduce.

I am not knocking the asthetics as it is a nice looking boat.

If the OP is looking for a "similar" offering, most of the Canadian aluminum builders would be able to help.

Alternatively, if "this" boat a "must have" I would suggest you send this picture to some of the boat brokers in Delta as they might have knowledge of a new builder.

 

Wow. All really good points. Thanks for your insight. Most likely home built and probably not as cool as I thought. Thanks for your time.

 

Great observations @Barry .

God I love boatyards....

 

Sort of looks like a cope 34, or s homebuilt adaption of it. Different visor and slightly different nose.

West coast alloy boat building is as small world, if it's a standard design it's only from a few places. Could be a home built or one off making it a bit harder.

 

Silver Streak Boats refers to the basic boat shape as a "Cabin Boat"

These examples don't have the broken reverse sheer, but they look like the same class of boat.

Here's a Canadian designer that has similar products: Product https://www.aluminumboatdesigns.com/products/tribune-bay-28-forward-raked-window?productid=73

Probably the most popular boat design between puget sound and Kodiak as well as everywhere in between. Cold water, bayweld, norvelle, king fisher, and the almost never ending list of guys cranking out specmar and response designs just to name a few.

The guys in b.c. like the multi piece sides more than the Americans that's why I thought a cope inspired boat.
