Sorry For The Tardiness. But I Had This Little Thing To Look At.
Look Closely.
We had a major internet failure in our entire area last yesterday, and stuff just got back up. And well. Back to the Facebook Marketplace craziness. Today we have this, this, this. Amazing and confusing and very cool, and yet crazy cruiser.
Ya I went there.
A mini masterpeice
Yes its a cruiser. In a garage.
I am impressed and having some spacial issues
Its big, and yet small.
Twin? 2 cylenders?
Okay, okay, this would win best cruiser at ANY boat show. Why? Because it would be the only cruiser at any boat show
Okay, here is the listing text “Own a priceless, one-of-a-kind 1/3 scale working model, built by world-renowned boat and half-scale equipment model builder Fred Heim.

Sounds like a pontoon boat in disguise. A baby camera, go fast and cruiser all in one week!
That is cool! It was worth the wait! I wonder what the price will finally set at? It is truly a conversation piece!
Okay, that’s just plain cool.
Amazing! I think the spatial confusion results from the level & perfection of detail. Someone has way too much time on his hands! Wonder if the “stabilizing pontoons” were planned from the get go, or a fix after discovering a too much height/too little beam situation?
So as a cruiser guy this thing is cool. However, IMHO a 24′ boat that will hold 3 people is totally useless.
Being a user guy thanks, but no thanks. Will be a great piece for someone who wants that unique show boat though.
WTF! I have seen it all now. It is really cool. I could see where you could put at least 3000 hours in building it. It would be a crowd pleaser. but not for me.
I keep looking at this and keep asking “Why?”
It is interesting and I can fully appreciate the work and workmanship that went into it. I would love to see it in person at a show, but leave it for someone else to take care of it and store it between shows.
The first thing that came to my mind was…why?
