This is a pretty nice rig. . . .
Moored just across from my dock in Huntington Harbour.
Interesting hatch in the bow, just above the waterline. . . .

Re: This is a pretty nice rig. . . .
I'm a bit puzzled because the front end profile says it's a Tullio Abbate and there seems to be his logo just aft of the air intake. His logo is just his handwritten signature and I think I recognize that in the photo. However, the little red sign all the way in the back looks like the Tecnomar logo but I know these guys pretty well and it does not look like one of their boats unless they've redesigned their TB546. Anyway, I think it surely has big diesels in it. Abbate used to power his boats with 183-series MTUs but then steered towards MAN 2848, 2840 and 2842 series (anywhere between 680 and 1300hp.) Naturally, being a good Italian that he is, he also made a few boats with Isotta Fraschini and Seatek engines.
