I believe it is a Catalina 345 mated to a Brenderup horse trailer.

That was the prototype of Frank Butler and George Lucas's Catalina 30 motorsailer.

My 12 yr. old son says it's really cool!

I'm gonna say an old Catalina 30 ('80 or earlier) with after-market deadlights and a bunch of other gobbledygook... (That traveler arch is scary!) But I'm curious about the outboard that looks like it's on the transom, as if to push the boat. Maybe the Atomic 4 gave out and they didn't want to re-power.

Edit: I just noticed the two braces from the teak rails up to the traveler arch--maybe it's not quite so scary.

I don't know but I think there should be some sort disclaimer or warning about young children viewing this thread.

We have a winner! Dave gets the runner up prize. It is a C30 with a Semi Truck cab top air deflector mounted up top. The owner is over 6 feet tall and his two sons are even taller. He cruised extensively on this boat for years with his kids and he brags that he has the only C30 that has a dodger that has been tested at 80 mph. It is fugly though, but don't tell Don I said that should you run into him. He is a little bit sensitive about this particular addition.

So what's with the outboard? Is it just stored there for a dinghy (note the davits), or pushing the boat?

Pushing the boat... Sounds like the diesel may have packed it in. Only saw him run the outboard once, and only saw hime leave the dock once about two years ago when were were there. He is a true liveaboard now.

Likely not a diesel... that's a 1970s C-30. It's probably a crapped-out raw-water-cooled Atomic.
