Previous owner did an exceptional job restoring the boat, shed kept for the last 10 years!
I repaired / replaced almost everything mechanical last year & only used the boat twice.
Interior:
Has a working 12V fridge & propane stove top, Fresh water tank is in the bow I have never used & I believe it will need a new pump for the sink. The bathroom was converted from a pump out toilet to a porta poti that has never been used & the upholstery is brand new just put back in the boat this morning.
Exterior:
Almost fully restored, Missing one piece of white trim off the transom (hardly noticeable) the swimgrid has 1 rotten teak plank but is still fully functional. There are window coverings for front & sides, an windlass cover, command bridge cover & slope back cover for the deck, all in fantastic condition.
Mechanical:
Powered by a GM small block 400 bored over to a 406 built I believe 12 years ago fully blueprinted & minimally used (I have the paperwork for the engine) Has a closed cooling system, Custom thru hull exhaust with right angle flappers to reduce noise but still sounds amazing! The outdrive is a single prop volvo penta but I replaced the original drive last year with a newer one in excellent condition, fully gone thru before installing.
The boat is a must see, truly one of a kind with incredible style unfortunately I am moving away and really don't have the time for something this size anyways so gotta let her go, The boat is currently moored at Westport Marina in North Saanich & can be seen upon request evenings & weekends. Please no phone calls before 5pm.
Thanks!
