Technically thats a picnic boat

That looks pretty slick!!
Kinda like it actually.

Looks like the definition of self bailing...

29' Hinkley Electric boat...And it only starts at 500k!

 

[Scott Danforth]

Most Hinkleys are in the 2-3M range once you add all the options

It's pretty, and I like the idea of a quiet drive system. But the performance data is pretty disappointing.

We call them "sofa boats" out here.

I like the deck design, super easy to wash off fish blood, guts and gore.

I wonder if a wash-down pump is standard equipment? (Probably not)

 

[Scott Danforth]

usually the people that own Hinckleys are the type of people that own a complete fishing fleet. Many of them are used as tenders on mega-yachts

the Dasher model shown would be used to ferry guests in evening wear back and forth between yachts docked in the Med who did not want to hear the motor

No need to go the the Med. Plenty of Hinckley owners live and boat locally (MD.) Saw a number of them while vacationing in Hyannis last summer as well.

Spot burners....most of the product videos where shot on my fishing hole....lol

... been my joke for years. While most people are drooling over the yacht, I'm laughing to myself "heck, I'll take the tender"

 

[Scott Danforth]

Plenty of Hinckleys down here too.

'Kogs we(company) are currently doing a 5 year PM on a pair of cranes use to lift a Riva with twin Lamborghini motors. The Riva is a late 50s beauty and is used as a tender.... Its absolutely stunning.

 

[southkogs]

"Stunning" is the right word for Rivas. I have yet to see one that isn't exquisite.

My penchant for Detroit Iron carries over to boats too. I typically like domestic boats because of the stories behind them and the styling. But the Rivas will get me every time.

Glad someone else remembers hearing that. Home Cookin' come back!!
