Excellent first sailboat.
Boat is a 1980 us 30, built by us yachts which was a division of bayliner. The
hull was designed by Doug
Peterson and won its class in the 1978 ¼ ton championships.
The
boat is masthead rigged.
The boat is 30 feet long, 10.2 feet wide and draws 5.5 feet. It is constructed of
fiberglass with a fin
keel and
rudder. It's a fast boat for a 30 ft
racer cruiser it rates 168 in phrf in comparison a
catalina 30 rates 188 so this boat is 20 seconds a mile faster.
It is powered with a
Volvo penta md7a 13 hp inboard
diesel will push the boat at 6.5 knts at 2300
rpm and burns less then .5 gallons an hour.
Starts up easy and does not smoke
It comfortably will sleep 2 couples and a child .

Miami,ft Lauderdale, the keys and the

I'm sure threes more but I can't remember the hours and dollars vie put in this boat
On the inside it could use the
headliner repaired in a few spots,
It could use the
cabin floor replace or refinished or covered with
marine carpet.
It could use the
hull surfaces and cabinet faces vinyl replaced with hull liner or marine carpet
It could use new
cushions, they are fine no rips no tears no big stains just older and look it.
The
stove top was converted to
propane from alcohol and doesn't
work, I used a small butane camp
stove
The counter tops were painted with counter top
paint from home depot it looked great for the first month then started chipping to do it again I would just get a sheet of Formica.
The
bottom paint is 3 years old, it was micron 66 and has held up well, you could problay get another year out of it if you clean it gently and 2 years if you're willing to scrape hard.
The
water tank leaks when your uncomfortly heeled
I think that's it. If you come look at the boat ill be happy to point out the good and bad, I promise to be the most honest owner of a boat in this
price range u look at to buy.
It's a great boat for Biscayne bay and the keys and can handle the
Bahamas as well.
I'm only selling because now after doing all that
work the wife fell in love with another boat that's bigger and more of a
project and we just made an offer and I don't want to own 2 boats.
The boat is in a slip in dinner key marina and can be shown at any time.
The price is negotiable but only a little after that if we start taking things off, the first to go would be the
autopilot after that would be the
dinghy ect.
10000k
I have pictures upon request.
