Bob

Tough to beat those old Rybovich's. Pretty boat, great ride.

By the way I hope you were not on the bridge while the radar was on. Not a good thing to do.

Bob,

Great pictures. Where is she located. I've been in love with Rybovich boats for years. Here's a link to their website:

http://www.rybovichandsons.com/

Lots of great photos and also an extensive write up of the boat yards history, all the way back to the 1920's.

she is docked next to my 31 at oakdale yacth,ny and will go to inside storage for winter. joe drove it up from florida on the outside! she makes 30 knot cruise and the ride is smooth.

That is beautiful.

Could probably do without the testicle irradiating radar position.

Can you say "Hot Nutz"

randall · Post by **randall** » Nov 30th, '09, 09:50

love it!!!. docked next to either that one or one just like it at a waterfront restaurant in southold. for what its worth the capt and crew had a lot of nice things to say about bertrams.

That boat is almost the perfect balance of looks, speed, comfort, fishability and storage space you would ever want to have in a boat. What this country needs is more companies that think and build like Rybovitch.I wonder how old that boat is? I have seen some in Montauk over the years that were built in the 60's that still are knockouts. Walter

walterk the rybo is a 1957 rybo that was striped down and then the entire boat was glass over with cloth and resin at merrit.then she was painted with awlgrip 2000 . inside has to be the finish cabinetry i have ever seen .no veneers ,well layed out ,manificent teak work.do you want photo`s of inside?

Come on now Bob, you should know us better.

Okay okay I'll say it. YES we want pictures....at least I do.

Funny how Classic lines don't go out of style.

Bob,
Joe and his grandsons take amazing care of Proud Lady. He purchased the boat back in the 1970's and has been the steward since then. It is an amazing sea boat and a true fish raiser. My son caught his first yellowfin on her some twenty five years ago. With regard to JP's comment on the radar, the vessel has a radiation shield inside the flybridge. Protects the people on the bridge but takes out rear radar vision. The Rybovitch Family has been working on a book featuring their boats past and present. This will be a must read for the sportfisherman.

I have admired this boat for many years, I mostly see in docked at Canoe Place in the summer.

Don't see too many Rybo's around these parts.

Just curious Bob, what power does she have?

Out in Montauk there is a 36 footer called CIRCE, don't think it is kept as nice but I perfer the smaller size. Perfect day boat with open bulkhead.

In Memory Walter K · Post by **In Memory Walter K** » Dec 1st, '09, 12:14

There's a Rybo charter boat in Montauk now run by Davie Kuhlus. He used to own and run the Hooker. The name of his Rybo escapes me right now.

and randall's surfing buddy. writes the waterfront beat for the east hampton star. i had a copy of something he wrote about tuna regs in my pocket the first time i met tray. his first question was weather i knew rusty....cue the twilight zone music.

bob lico · Post by **bob lico** » Dec 1st, '09, 17:59

craig she has east end marine detroit power. hand built like a race motor with non stock components .not a drop of oil in engine compartment,you could eat off the bilge under the motors.joe wants only the best that is why she will stay inside heated and dust free for winter .extreme care taken put on 5 cradles with 5 keel supports for no structual stress storage.funny thing is i instagated a war because "c" dock west is converted to all restored rybo,viking.my bertram , egg harbor, etc.we move the wine and cheese carver,sea ray to another dock along with the flower pots,flowered rugs and god knows stupid things people put on the dock -----yes i planted the idea in the owners ear after seeing a gay flag on a sea ray!!!

Bob,

Pat Rybovich, daughter of the famed Tommy Rybovich, is in the final stages of putting together a beautiful coffee table book about all things Rybovich. It's going to be full of stunning photographs of the first 79 Rybovich Yachts, the yard and the people that designed and built them. Here's a link to some sample pages and other Rybovich book information:

http://www.rybovichbook.com/book.html

I already have my order in for a commemorative edition. Pat Rybovich saw the pictures you took of Proud Lady and expressed interest in including them in her book. If you are interested, please contact me @ 504-723-2943. Click on the contents link and there's a great sample of photos. If that picture of Sea Genie II's cockpit does not get the blood flowing, I suspect you're dead.

Thanks,

JR

Wow! What a book. The boats are all true classics! Walter

bob lico · Post by **bob lico** » Dec 16th, '09, 17:15

man i get goose bumps looking at that 1961 vintage underway. joe told me went he took her up from florida he stop in north carolina (intercostal)and the owner of the marina flip out when he saw it and took him to dinner. the boat really stops you in your tracks, incidently joe was referring to a 39' rybo out in montauk when he mention detroit power this 43' has cummins power.when i get a chance i will photo. inside.

Bob,

I look forward to the interior photos. Let me know what you think of using your photos in Pat's Rybovich book.

Thanks,

Now that is what dreams are made of. A true classic. Plus the shape it's in. Now that is what you call Cherry.
