Its a nearly mythical boat, been discussed here and 2 other boat forums I frequent.

IIRC, it was last 'seen' in SoCal

Do a google image search w it, it should dig up the topics

It's the tender for Captain Nemo's Nautilus.




Pics have been floating around for a while, but nothing really found except this from Woodyboater

It?s a mid 1950s Romany 2500. Built by the Romany Company in MI. They produced the boat and a couple travel trailers to compete with Airstream before the Romany Gypsies complained and they had to change the name to Avion. They never built anymore boats but continued to build trailers.

I'd work on the old gal, this is either a photoshop oir someone did a nasty paint job on it.

Down further in the Woodyboater link, a guy says it's a 1946 Hobart 22' with a 6.5' beam and made out of stainless. Down a little further is a longer post.

:noidea:

Heres an also unusual tinny, on CL and fleaBay, IIRC, as is for 6K initially and 'dropped' to 5K. Didnt sell....

No idea where it is now, was near Seattle....

Late 50s/early 60s, 18ft Valco. Only 1 I've ever seen, and just the 1 pix

It looks like a 51 Studebaker conversion ....Starlite Coupe ....
