QR Code Link to This Post
This is a project boat with great bones. ***Boat Runs Great!!!*** Mechanically, she’s in running condition and ready to cruise. Her twin Perkins 6.354 diesels start right up and purr, offering an economical and reliable ride at a comfortable 10 knots while sipping just 1.5 GPH combined. The Onan generator provides reliable onboard power for extended stays.
Structurally, the boat is in good condition. The hull is solid, and the layout is classic CHB—ideal for liveaboards or long-range cruisers. She needs attention in a few key areas: new bottom paint, repair work on the forward teak decking, and general cosmetic TLC throughout.
She’s not turn-key, but the essentials are in place. With a little effort and vision, this vessel could be transformed into a stunning trawler-style condo on the water.
