Advice on 1970 Burger 74 Flush Deck Motoryacht

Discussion in ' Burger Yacht ' started by LardWaltson , Oct 19, 2023 .

Hello! About a handful of us located into Florida have been looking to get into bigger boats and have a shared liveaboard/Airbnb, with maybe a couple of trips to the Bahamas and what not a year together. We have our eyes on a 1970 Burger Flush deck orginally 67ft, now about 74.5ft, "Kamelot" or originally named "Garbo" (owned by Greta Garbo). https://www.**************/yacht/1970-burger-74-flush-deck-motoryacht-8788171/ We are drawn to it's history, and with a good survey, costs to finish some things, along with the understanding of maintenance to the hull we hope to hang onto it for some time. Interior wise how it looks from the photos would be easy for us. Engine wise collectively we have experience. My main concern would be with the aluminum hull. The boats I have owned were fiberglass. The company that did the extension on the boat seems reputable for how long they've been around (derektor I believe?). In my opinion that would be a spot to definitely look major damage, if any. Also, just a thought since it looks like the floors that are missing some planks would appear to be where the engine hatches are? Am I correct? Would I be safe to assume they were opened for some sort of work that needs finishing? Hopefully someone here has been on this Burger, or could give some advice on it. Could someone reference a good surveyor in the Bridgeport Connecticut area with experience on these boats? Somewhat of the plan would be to get the boat seaworthy up there and have it delivered down to Jacksonville temporarily to finish things manageable for us, eventually taking it to the Port Canaveral area. Thanks in advance! Im looking forward to learning some more about this boat and older burgers in general Cooper

Welcome to Yacht Forums Seems lots of Burger questions and projects going on here at Y F. While you are waiting for the Burger folk to check in, Some searches on this site may be of good reading. Where are you heading in Jax?

Those look like US Marshal stickers to me. This boat is definitely a project, as the price reflects. My guess is that the price reflects that you would need to put multiples of the purchase price into the boat. I'd suggest giving Chris Daves a call, and ask him for his best guess as to what it really needs. If that doesn't scare you away, grab a cheap flight up to look for yourself before investing any real $ into hiring a surveyor. The state of the engines, plumbing, and wiring would be of greater concern than the aluminum. But if you do go up to look for yourself, spend some time looking in at any hull plate/frames you can access, and look into the hard-to-see areas for signs of corrosion (look for white powder or a gooey gel).

There are a couple similar Burgers in FL (here’s one - https://www.**************/yacht/1965-burger-78'-cockpit-flybridge-motor-yacht-8895397/ ) in significantly better condition. I’d go down that route and save a lot of time/headaches

If I am understanding things correctly this will be joint venture amongst more than 2 people. In theory this can work but in reality I think the chance of success (being defined as 80% of the owners are happy with the arraignment after a year or more) is slim at best. I foresee lots of disagreement on how the money is spent on the restoration, management of the boat post restoration, etc. I get it, in a perfect world it makes sense to spread the cost of the boat over a few owners since most of us don’t use our boats nearly as much as we want seeing them sitting in their slips empty more than they are out cruising or being lived aboard. Also I think the airbnb concept doesn’t work well with boats. Much too complicated for the average homeowner to deal with. I love old burgers and have no comments on the boat but the concept to me has a slim chance of working regardless of the boat chosen.

Shared ownership of a boat...hmmm....I was once told by someone far more intelligent than I am....partnerships are for lonely people. Best to avoid them.

That being said, the Sparkman Burger is a terrific layout, and the cockpit will add to the range and upgrade the ride. Don't think the path will be cheap, and don't rely on partners to participate nicely. But she's a beautiful boat as a project. I suggested to Burger a few years ago that they should be out there rehabbing their own as newish.

rtrafford said: ↑ Resto-mod ratrod Burgers from yesteryear. They could probably get a syndication on Discovery or something. If I had to do mine over again, I very well may have taken her to them along with my plan. Outcome would be a new-ish vessel done by the yard and at a fraction of new pricing. Project would have been done in a year or 18. Mine has been ongoing for 8? Then again I get to use her during...and for most standards, she's been finished for a while. Click to expand...

I used to enjoy watching Huckins rebuild one of their oldies. They still have the drawings, plans and build notes on near all hulls they ever built.

I fear the O P has disappeared . Hope he got good answers. Wish he would come back and fill us in on what he is still thinking or doing. Somebody will pick up "Kamelot" and bring her back to life. Just is going to require a tall cash flow.

Capt Ralph said: ↑ We lived on the Huckins dock for around 10 years. Nice styles but not many seemed accommodating to us. There was only one I had an interest in. Full width master stateroom with a king sized bed. Even made offers on Rowinco directly to the owner. Then one day she was moved to the yard next door, sold out from under me. Oh, Got a notice about Thunderbolt, Dock fell in at the restaurant?? Hope nobody or nothing else was hurt. Click to expand...

Teak wing doors provide access to the side decks both port and starboard. Port and starboard teak pilothouse doors with integrated bi-folding screen doors offer additional access to the side decks from the pilothouse which is located just forward of the salon/aftdeck. Access to the flybridge is offered from the port side of the pilothouse via a teak ladder. Continuing forward from the pilothouse and down three steps, the lower salon affords additional entertaining/lounging area for owners and guests. Along the aft bulkhead in the lower salon houses a custom chest of drawers and additional entertainment/AV accessories. Moving forward and to port of the lower salon, the galley is expansive and includes all the modern appliances and conveniences of home. All appliances are full sized and the area is large enough to prepare gourmet meals for owners and guests. Continuing forward from the galley the crew/guest area includes a crew/guest stateroom, a small dinette, and utility area, head and shower, as well as access to the utility and engine room.

The main living quarters are accessed from the companionway at the aft bulkhead of the lower salon. The guest stateroom is located amidships to port and includes twin berths. Adjacent to the guest stateroom is the guest head which serves as the day head for entertaining. Continuing aft the full beam master stateroom is enormous and includes storage ample enough for extended cruising and liveaboard usage. Total accommodations include three staterooms and three heads which sleeps six comfortably with additional accommodation available via the settees in the lower and main salon.

Starting forward are twin teak wing doors with new wood blinds accessing the side decks. A full bulkhead between the wing doors separates this area from the forward Pilothouse. A teak and glass door in the bulkhead gives access to the Pilothouse. Centerline forward is a teak wet bar and cabinet housing a refrigerator, pull out glass and bottle storage on teak shelves, a Whirlpool Clear Ice icemaker and a stainless steel bar sink. All of the above are hidden behind recessed panel teak cabinet doors. Above is a large glass panel providing aft visibility from the Pilothouse. An etching of the yacht's profile has been sandblasted into the glass panel. The sole of this area is a teak plank finished to perfection in a golden matte color. Furniture in the Salon includes a leather nail head three cushion sofa to port, a matching large chair and ottoman and a teak steamer trunk coffee table with storage within. Between the sofa and chair is an end table. The aft end of the sofa has a reading light. To starboard is a matching loveseat, and a reading lamp.

This motor yacht is now named Kamelot, but when a bottle of champagne first broke on it's bow, it was named Garbo. Designed by Sparkman and Stevens , and built by the Burger company in 1970, this 72 foot-long beauty was custom made for Greta Garbo. Greta thought it would be fashionable to spend 5 million bucks (a lot of dough in 1970) to entertain her big- name Hollywood friends. Even though Greta found out after she got her yacht that she was prone to getting seasick, the likes of Tracy and Hepburn , John Wayne, James Cagney, and John Ford didn't really mind if they never left the dock.

Burger Yachts for Sale

The Burger Boat Company was founded in 1863 by Henry B. Burger on the shores of Lake Michigan, and the company has a longstanding boat building heritage. Now internationally recognised as one of the finest custom boat builders in the world, they are known for their variety of vessels, constructed in aluminum and/or steel, which meet the highest of expectations.

The company’s core values: integrity, honesty and commitment, have been integral to their success, with a dedication to these values being what has fostered client trust and brand loyalty.

Burger employs an extraordinarily skilled workforce of designers and shipbuilders. Burger’s own in-house design team works with many of the world’s most respected naval architects to create custom-built yachts and commercial vessels of exceptional standards and pedigree. Setting the highest benchmarks for safety, reliability and quality of fit and finish.

In addition to Burger’s boat building repertoire, they offer a comprehensive array of complimentary services including custom furniture design, speciality metal and joinery fabrication, refit, repair and maintenance.

Burger Boats are located in Wisconsin, USA, and their modern, full-service facility with eight heated construction bays, covers eight acres in total. Capable of building vessels up to 260 feet (80m), this state-of-the-art premises also has an extended deep-water seawall, launch well and large capacity Marine Travelift.

History of Burger Yachts

The history of the Burger Boat Company begins with Henry Burger who, having moved with his family from Germany to the USA when he was a child, began as an apprentice shipbuilder at the Wolf & Davidson Shipyard in Milwaukee at the age of 18.

Henry Burger was 24 when he founded the Burger shipyard, intending to produce small 20 – 30 foot Mackinaw boats for local commercial fishermen. In 1870, during the heyday of wooden sailing ships, Henry and Mr. Greene-Rand consolidated their Manitowoc shipyards to form the Greene-Rand, Burger Shipyard – building, among many others, the sailing schooners CITY OF MANITOWOC and J.I. CASE, and this partnership continued until Mr. Rand’s death in 1885.

In 1886, Henry took his nephew, George B. Burger, into partnership forming the Burger and Burger Shipyard. In 1887, envisioning the decline of new wooden sailing ships, they purchased the only dry dock in Manitowoc to begin a ship repair business.

This combination of new construction and ship repair was the formula that made Burger prosperous during the 1890’s when many other shipyards struggled. Between 1870 and the turn of the century, the Burger brand name appeared on almost 100 new vessels including steamers, tugs, scows, schooners and barges.

In 1902, Henry B. & George B. Burger, after almost 40 years in business, sold their shipyard to the Manitowoc Dry Dock Company and Henry Burger retired. Ten years earlier, in 1892, Henry’s nephew, Henry B. Burger Jr., formed a company in his own name, the Henry B. Burger Shipyard, just across the river from his uncle. It is on this site that the current Burger Boat Company has evolved.

While continuing to build small sailing and fishing vessels, Henry ‘Junior’ quickly recognized the potential advantages of the newly developed gasoline engine and the yard’s first motor launch, the 85′ cruiser, VERNON JR., was delivered in 1901. Within ten years, the company was building multiple 80, 90 and 100-foot wooden cruisers and had established a reputation for building the finest custom motor yachts.

Henry junior died in 1914, leaving the company to his wife and four children, who assumed ownership and management of the shipyard and, in 1915, they incorporated as Burger Boat Company.

Throughout the first and second World Wars the Burger Boat Company built many vessels for the US army and navy. With the advent of peace in 1945, Burger devoted its efforts to producing pleasure yachts. Luxury cruisers and auxiliaries were built and a line of custom and semi-custom yachts was introduced in 1949.

The heyday of flush decks, cruisers, houseboats, raised and semi-raised pilothouse motor yachts continued through the sixties, seventies and into the eighties. During this period, Burger worked with notable naval architects such as Sparkman & Stephens, J.B. Hargrave, C. Raymond Hunt, and Donald O’Keeffe.

In October 1986, due to the declining health of Henry E. Burger, the family sold the company to John McMillian, a then current customer building an 86-foot yacht.

Burger continued to prosper and for the period between 1985 and 1990, 47% of all the registered motor yachts over 80 feet built in the U.S. were built by Burger Boat Company.

In April 1989 McMillian sold Burger to United Shipbuilders of America, a newly created subsidiary of Tacoma Boat Building Company. Unfortunately, the unexpected loss of several large naval contracts, along with the newly instituted luxury tax, caused the already-struggling Tacoma Boat Building Company to abruptly suspend operations and in November 1990, the closing of Burger was ordered.

On February 5th 1993, 26 months after the closure, the Burger brand was reborn when Chicago entrepreneurs and businessmen David Ross and Jim Ruffolo purchased the assets of Burger Boat Company and reopened the shipyard.

The first yacht under the new management was the 91-foot Raised Pilothouse Motor Yacht WINDRUSH. This eagerly anticipated yacht was so highly acclaimed at the 1994 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, that it was directly responsible for Burger Boat Company receiving three additional yacht construction contracts.

Since its reopening, Burger has experienced tremendous growth. Along with this success and expansion, the Burger University was initiated in 2006 to provide new and ongoing training in all trades and departments.

David Ross retired in 2007 and the then co-President, James (Jim) Ruffolo, took over as sole President/CEO.

Burger are dedicated to maintaining their industry leading position and put client satisfaction ahead of all else.

The Burger collection

Notable superyacht builds from the Burger shipyard’s modern-day operation include the 142-foot (43.3m) SEA OWL, designed by Andrew Winch and launched in 2009, and the retro-styled 151-foot (46m) SYCARA IV, which was designed by Ken Freivokh.

SEA OWL was a full-custom build and the owner’s requirements were for a master stateroom on the main deck with a private study, a main salon and dining area that were open plan, and multiple exterior deck areas with space to dine, lounge and socialise.

The largest Burger-built superyacht to date is the 153-foot (46.6m) INGOT. INGOT was launched in 2008 and has both an aluminum hull and superstructure. The Burger Boat Company was responsible for her exterior design, and they collaborated with Vripack for the interior. INGOT is a mechanical masterpiece, with each system fully accessible for maintenance and providing her owner with exceptional reliability. INGOT is an ocean-going, long-range superyacht. Fully classified to the requirements of the American Bureau of Shipping and built in compliance with the Maritime Coastal Agency LY2 code, INGOT can be seen in ports around the globe.

Burger’s modern shipyard, and its highly skilled engineers and craftsmen, makes Burger a logical choice for new vessel construction, refit, repair or maintenance.
