Ugly Boats

[thesnort]

Being a multihull fan who thinks (almost) all multihulls are beautiful, there's always the odd duck. This one has been posted before, but, "Hey, look, kids! It's just now been price-reduced!"
Just in case you want to be the proud owner of this small monstrosity, have a look: 1995 Argonaut Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
Will someone please post a pic of an uglier boat, if one exists (and I don't mean something that's been thoroughly trashed, but would otherwise be a boat with nice lines, etc...)

Here's a truly ugly example of a full-wingdeck trimaran, with lots of windage.





BTW, if anyone is interested, it is an older Piver design.

Compare that to this Cross designed trimaran:


or this Chris White designed trimaran—

I've seen worse. There was one around here that had this huge house, box if ya will, built on the stern athwartships. Plenty fugly it was...

There's an old Horstman trimaran design that makes a barge look elegant. That Piver reminds me of that famous Mexican hotel with the tiered rooms.

This is my contribution, don't know much about cats and maybe it's just me but I think this Kismet 34c does not look good. Looks more like a condo.

I think this one's got you all beat.

[So how do I make the photo show up in my post?]

[Bilgewater]

I didn't know Fisher made Cat's! Sure looks like a Fisher motorsailer, never seen one of these.

Jim, you need to set up an account with Photobucket or similar and upload your photos there. Then copy the IMG code from the photo and paste it in your post.

Here's the fisher power cat:

Hey Dog, did you see, someone new just signed up on AS with a Telstar.

SD a lot of cats are ugly in the water! I wouldnt put our cat in the water. That last photo - stop, please no more. At least the theft insurance will be cheap. Someone said, 'nobody has a stupid dog, an ugly wife or a bad boat' or was it a bad dog, ugly boat and stupid wife??
