That looks like the launch from the Nautilus (think Captain Nemo)

That is one cool looking boat. I wish I knew who made it. "Course then I wish I had the $$$. I'd buy it in a heart beat and restore it.

Probably the coolest tinny I've ever seen. I'd love to bring that one back. I was thinking the same as pmiller and was going to suggest giving Captain Nemo a call

okay spill the beans, is that a boat you found or just a picture you found on the net somewhere?

Re: Help ID'n this COOL old boat

So let's see...V-8 gas or diesel inboard with a v-drive, stout hand-rails fore and aft, EXTREMELY STOUT "rubrails", prop-pocket for shallow water, possible radar mast on the pilot house...

Navy tender, probably out of the New Orleans area...they build a lot of aluminum boats for the military.

I personally find it to be terrifying looking and want to hide under my desk just looking at it.

Re: Help ID'n this COOL old boat

Is it actually a twin or just a single with dual exhausts? I only see one rudder.

Yeah! Looks like it could launch a torpedo any second! Wouldn't that be something on Raystown? :D

V-8, hence 2 exhaust ports...most likely a diesel. Probably a V-drive as well.

It kinda looks like one of the bass lures I have in the ol' tackle box.

I'd buy her in a heartbeat.
