Wife likes her as a liveaboard so going to hang on to her for now.

The wife or the boat?

 

[Crux]

It was very near ticking my boxes until I saw the engines
Why oh why does it have such stupidly large motors

Very nice boat!

This was a very common engine in Hatteras of this era, 60' and over.

They're dirt simple....using almost all 6-71 components except block.

Smooth as silk, non electronic, serviceable worldwide.

Both. Happy wife happy life. A bad day on the water is better than a good day on the land.

Wow - congrats! Please keep us posted, suggest you start a new thread to document the engine swap if you have the energy for it. Sounds like a great upgrade.

When we were in Alaska this boat was being fit out for fishing 20 miles offshore. It's a converted sailboat ... I think.

As a schooner, the thing missing off its nose would be a bowsprit. However, as a motorboat it would be a big-arse ramming rod like in Verne's Nautilus. Maybe sail down to Venzuela and start ramming some pirates!

I like this one, but you had better be able to pay the annual varnish bill....love varnish, hate the bill.

Nice looking vessel. Reminds somewhat of the Pilgrim 40

Reminds me of what the Pilgrim 40 wishes it were.

She was commissioned, owned and maintained by the head of the Canadian Power Squadron in Victoria for much of her life.

Not sure if it was there and I missed it, but what length and beam? Beautiful boat!


Never mind, I found the specs in the previous posts . . .

 

[Hippocampus]

Look at the price. An example of how badly wood, even excellent wood, is undervalued. A stout well designed and executed vessel going for short money. If it was in grp it would be multiples of the ask.

I really like this one, it would suit us just fine.

I'm not sure how to share the pics just the link.

Purpose built for O Summers to be an escort for the 1972(?) Vic/Maui sailing race. Owned by a VG friend for several years in the 90s. Many summer trips rafting alongside until he moved up to a bigger woodie. Looks like she is still a great boat.

I don't know if this has been posted but if I had the income to buy and support this vessel, I'd travel the world until my days end on it.

[Mako]

My take on that Wilmington boat: it’s a big piece of homemade “stuff.” Make him an offer of $75k and then it might be worth the ownership.

You never know what someone thinks their things are worth...

I agree. I think the price is to high as well. If I had the money to even consider it, I'd probably have the money to live aboard and cruise year round. I can telecommute.

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Mr. b. I think the photo you posted is the "before" picture. Really scary ones in the link in spite of the fact she looks like a stout vessel.

 

[Mako]

Also I’d remove the homemade Jules Verne ramming horn in front. I would seriously doubt it improves performance in the manner which a bulbous bow is designed to work.
