I'm getting to an age now (68 this thursday) where lift and transporting 66 inch to 82 inch boats is getting old. I want to sell these two boats and in turn build two smaller versions of the same boats. Bob's 31 inch Nautilus.
I'm not sure what they are worth. The Nautilus is being sold without the WTC. The VIIC is a 32nd Parallel I got from Matt Thor over ten years ago and it was a wreck of a started but never finished build I completely redid. I added weld lines and rivets, rebuilt the tower and hand made all the railings and more.
It uses the old water tight boxes and has a BigDave designed system that uses RCABS and a snort. It has the original belt drive motors and she runs great still. No leaks.
The Nautilus was a Custom Replicas kit that was run over by UPS on delivery for a client build. The kit was replaced but I kept the damaged one and pieced it back together and built the model. It has lights, and complete bridge interior and lighting. The pitch is controlled through the prop which still works. I had a OTW Cylinder in it which ran the boat fine.
I am well know for my modeling and special effects work in the motion picture industry. Both these boats were well documented when they were originally built. You can learn more about my work here: www.steveneillsgarage.com
As for price I have no idea anymore what they are worth. Looking online didn't help much. The market seemed low to me. But times have changed.
The Nautilus I'm starting at 2500 or Best offer. And for the VIIC 3000 or best offer. And I will consider any offer.
The shipping is the big problem because it can cost 200-300 to have these pro shipped and even then it's a crap shoot. If you can drive to my film studio in Ventura not only will you have a good time seeing the many movie props and big studio models there but you can avoid the shipping and possible damage from the shippers.
If you want to see more pictures and how these were built contact me. The original building threads should still be on this website if you do a search. I'm open to tread too because I just want to down size these two boats.
