I saw a thread a while back about ugly boats. I think I may have found a new winner. Enjoy the spectacle.

Unique Lakes Boat.......a real classic expression of eccentricity! I can just imagine it tying up at the marina for an overnight stay :)

If you want to see ugly, check this. It is so ugly it is obscene. How dare he profane Venus by naming it after her.

Hi Poodle, that really looks like a very modified lifeboat. I guess somebody loves it.

You're right HG. Anything from garden sheds on pontoons (liveaboards) to cast iron bathtubs with outboards on the back (dieaboards). At least on the River you can swim to safety.

Yes an old rescue boat, heavily modified. That is a roller door!

The owner, I think his name is John, has a huge solid jarrah table in the main cabin, weighs a ton.

No doubt the table would be ballast.
