Nice design, but not sure if it would qualify as an oddity. Could you elaborate?

I was responding to another "nautical oddity" of a trimaran outboard powered power boat that had Raven 25 on the side of it's hull (posted by delmarrey on 07-07-2007, 09:44 Nautical oddities

Now I get it. Thanks for the clarification. I guess one man's gold is another mans oddity. I really like that little motorsailor.

I don't know, honestly; we tried to come closer - the crew
of this ... vessel (?) showed us not to do this;
here's another picture from astern - maybe someone will guess

cooper · 08-08-2008, 20:57

my guess is its a mooring mover....

With all that reserve buoyancy, its made for lifting something heavy. I don't think those are tanks of any sort. There is cable winch on the top.

The only thing I can guess is that it may be a box core. A box core is something that takes benthic (bottom) samples for research. The large amount of reserve buoyancy would help to break the suction and to lift the weight of the sample out of the water. No idea what it might be otherwise.

Croatia's attempt on the Round the World with 2 x 5 HP outboards - those are the fuel tanks they are pushing, the one in the middle is slivovitz for the crew?

So what speed do you have to be going... to get a Jesus Complex?
