Broker Comments

Vessel was moved to the hard in April 2018 to possible undergo a bottom job, engine recondition and general refit.   It was trucked to the owner property near Clearwater in Safety Harbor.

Vessel is currently a project boat!

Engine runs on 2 of the 3 cylinders and needs repairs.  It has external oil leak.  The injector of the non running cylinder has been replaced so possible it is a head issue or beyond.  Starter was replaced.

Bottom has about 12 average size blisters that should repaired  It will also need a fresh bottom paint job.

Exterior projects are blister repaired, bottom painted, running gear inspected and maintained, hull waxed, deck wood work or trim refinished, sail equipement re-rigged, all deck equipment (staysail track has a leak into cabin) inspected and maintained, electronics updated (GPS/Chart Plotter,  Depth Sounder, Wind and Speed all not working and need replacement), etc., etc.

Interior projects are engine repaired (possible head or value job and new fuel filter system), transmission inspected and maintained, all on-board systems inspected and maintained, all interior wood work or trim refinished, all hatches (two hatches need replacing) and ports inspected and maintained, etc., etc.

Boat is being offer as is.  Since boat is on the hard, trial run and full survey is not reasonably possible or cost prohibited because engine is not running correctly and boat is de-rigged.  Any partial survey, if necessary, should be done in current location.

New owner will need to have the boat transported to a boat yard to complete some of the above projects prior to resplashing the boat.
