We purchased this vessel in 2008 and completely renovated it. The hull is solid with no leaks, hull and bottom painted with Interlux Perfection - two part. Interior was redesigned slightly, engine box rebuilt with teak and holly top to serve as table or seating. All seating/benches were rebuilt using mahogany, and all painted with Interlux Brightside.
Engine (Hercules model K) was rebuilt (twice) by Van Ness Engineering in NJ, once in 2013, and again in 2014 with addition work. Fresh water cooling system was installed in 2013, so no problems with running in the ocean. Two bilge pumps are installed and working. All wiring was taken out and new systems installed when originally renovated in 2008.
We use this boat every weekend in the summer until it is too cold to go outside! Great sea going boat, easy to maneuver. Comes with trailer.
Brightwork and paint has been redone every single year we have owned it.
Just bought a newer bigger boat, and can't give the love and attention to this one that she deserves. It needs a good home with someone who appreciates and knows old wooden boats. This boat is meant to be enjoyed, not kept in a museum room!
