Here’s a much more detailed ad from the listing brokerage. Have to give them an email address to see over 100 pics and the video. What a beaut. https://porttownsend.boatshed.com/willard_47_dover_pilothouse-boat-305447.html
Any thoughts by anyone of what a reasonable/realistic price for this boat would be? (Other than the usual, 'whatever someone will pay for it').
Not a lot of comps for a 1967 47 ft Willard, except maybe this one -

Re-powered with what?
Apparently the seller has his price and will not 'move.'
Last I heard, it is a seller's market. Good luck
There was a pending sale and it apparently fell through.
With a four foot draft and with that hull form pictured above and a claimed top speed of 12.5 knots I think it can fairly be described as semi-displacement.
That one is the comp. It did sell. I think he’s asking about a more reasonable price on the one currently for sale In this market? It may get an offer. But it is too old for financing, for a certain customer the finishing is sparse, and yes the engineering spaces are cramped (though to my eye the engineering refits were done very smartly.) Also the tankage is not that impressive. I’m guessing it will not sell in the four hundreds - the smaller Willards aren’t exactly selling within a week of listing - because not everyone appreciates what they offer.
Here’s a view below waterline. A bit different than the Willard 40 and 36.
Neat converted tug if not fitted out in a particularly stylish manner. Mostly posted for the Detroit Diesel porn, 12v149 main and twin 2-71 generators with chrome covers lol. I know that Moonfish/Darren is berthed next to them.

With a modest 675 HP made from 1800 cid, the main will likely outlast the hull!
First stop: Venezuela.Amd cruising under 8 knots without pushing or pulling anything of significance, doubtful that anything near that rated HP will ever come close to being utilized.
What do we think? Make at least 1 NMPG at normal cruise?
I’m thinking fill it up once, cruise it through the 6,000 gallons then sell it again.
I'm in!
