Description
The boat has a new keel, new vertical ribs and battons, hundreds of feet of new planking, new section of chine, new deck beams, a new epoxy and glassed deck, and a new pilothouse and hardtop. All exterior lumber(including the bottom)has been coated with Smith and Co. Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer(CPES),seams filled with 3M 5200, and from the waterline up coated with Awl-Grip D545 primer. Deck and hardtop were finished in laminating resin and cloth over CPES. Transom is honduras mahogany (coated with CPES) and finished in clear urethane. Thousands of new silicon bronze screws. The interior was removed to complete the structural work, but the layout remains for reassembly. All of the drawers, doors, and anything else we saved goes with the boat. We also have all of the exterior hardware, as this boat was complete when we got it. A pair of rebuilt Cat 3208T's have been installed(320hp each with approx. 10 hours), new shafts(aquamet 22), and new michigan 24 x 22 dynajet propellers. All 6 struts were removed, inspected by a reputable shop, and reinstalled with new bearings. It has gone over 20 knots (by gps). There is over 50K invested at this point(excluding labor). This is now a solid foundation, with most of the major(read expensive)structural hull work complete. The boat is FREE without the engines, shafts, and wheels, or make us a resonable offer for the whole package. It can be moved over the road with the hardtop removed.
