@@bobuncle8704 You're absolutely correct on the response. A little further reading shows it didn't really take off until the 1940s, but that's not really the point. I really like the tri-sink setup here, so you can have wash/rinse/sanitize sinks per restaurant health code.

[@samwise4me903]

So, being an older person, I was going to university when this yacht was built, and had a job at a swank (expensive) yacht club in a suburb of NYC. Some of the richest people in the world live in NYC, yet at that time, there were almost no motor yachts of this size plying the waters of Long Island Sound. Most of the really big yachts were in just 2 states, Florida and California. I wonder if that has changed. Of course, the main reason is that the yachting season here in New York is just three and a half months. The boats go into the water in late May, and are hauled out again in September. By the way, the Hukins corp built fast attack water craft for the navy in WWII. So that would explain the yachts somewhat unusual layout of the yacht-and it's fast speed.!

[@NautiStyles]

Thank you so much for sharing that story...I am certain things have changed a lot in the past few years, as there are always a lot of generational changes...nowadays you have a lot of younger wealthy people with different taste and priorities and boats/yachts might be more on their agenda than other things

[@stonedfacekilla]

Its like that here in texas but it's more high dollar fishing yachts and sail boats than anything else.

[@gcanada3005]

The reason the boat is so cheap now, the running costs would destroy even a wealthy person.

[@NautiStyles]

I totally agree!

[@uditfonseka]

Totally agree--love that mid-century look in the salon. So superior to many of the modern yachts. One minor thing I would change--is the knobs/handles on the cabinets/drawers. Too bright, too brassy.

First: I was born in 1937. When I was growing up on the Hudson River in those days (My Dad had a succession of boats culminating after WWII with a surplus CG 83 footer). THE yacht basin at the time was the 79th Street Basin in Mnahattan. Tied up permantly on the Norht facing was the yacht ORION a Feedship of 150' length and on the South facing was a 125' Trumpy beloning to the Corps of Army Engineers. The 79th street yach basin was also our primary source for the diesel fuel on Dad's 52' Wheeler (1,200 gals). The 83 footer carried 3, 500 gals.

It’s frustrating how many people don’t understand the use of generality and hyperbole in the English language. If I’m making an argument or using a metaphor “you” doesn’t mean I’m speaking of you specifically. “Our” in your case doesn’t imply you own it. Man in titles and occupational names is used generally to refer to mankind. People are weird and get offended over such nonsense.

I saw this when it came out, but I didn't know this boat was built in Jacksonville, FL, just on the other side of town from me.

Love you to young people. I get a chuckle when you talk about something being old, like a refrigerator of garbage disposal. I was born in Miami in 1940 when places like the Grove were sleepy fishing towns. My dad commercial fished so I was on a boat at the ripe old age of two weeks. I remember the iceman bringing ice for the icebox 2 or 3 times a week. Boats have come a long way since those days. We would have thought you were nuts if you told us that you could program your boat to go to the islands and it would steer itself and all you had to do was maybe make a few corrections.

Something to consider concerning appliances would be that modern has nothing to do with life span. The refrigerator and washer and dryer already on this yacht will outlast it's modern counterparts. The more electronics incorporated on a device is just that much more that can go wrong. I'd rather replace a gasket because it's old then try to troubleshoot an electronic glitch. Notice the original shower handles and shower head that still work. Ask yourself...do you think something purchased today will still be working 32 years later?

Great episode and tour! I see a great opportunity to build a dream yacht from this foundation without a whole lot of upgrading. The galley and master cabin would be where I would focus. Everything else looks serviceable for a while. Great find!

Huckins is old and historic company that is still in business. They designed and built WWII PT boats and built PT109 that was commanded by JFK. Check out the Wikipedia page on the company. Fairform Flyer seems to be more of a motto - you see it on the logo on the website. The website says that they do custom builds so they might build you a new one of this model all updated for way more than this one would cost.

You’re right - it was PT101 that was the Huckins boat. JFK commanded more than 1 boat

The garbage disposal unit was invented in 1927 by John W. Hammes, an architect working in Racine, Wisconsin. He applied for a patent in 1933 that was issued in 1935. His InSinkErator company put his disposer on the market in 1940.
