I looked at this boat this afternoon and found out a little about it.
1. The boat is a 1982.
2. It is on a custom
steel cradel that will allow loading on to a flatbed
trailer and not require over height permits. It is 10' wide so you will probably need over width permits.
3. The
hull has a few jell coat chips. Bottom will be ready for
paint with a little prep
work.
4. It has a Universal 2 cyl
diesel RWC. I did not try to turn it over, but it has not run in probably 4 years. It is fairly clean and rust free. It has trans and prop shaft but no propellor.
5. The decks has a few spots that need filled and all decks need to be painted.
6. The
sails are a little dirty, but should be useable.
7. The
mast are wooden box and the mizzen will definitely need to be reqlued. All
parts of the mizzen are there along with sail tracks. The main
mast looks to be okay but I would check it very closely as the mizzen is delaminating. Both booms are in the
cabin and will need to be refinished.
8. There has been
water into the boat (probably rain water). Apparently the openings for the masts were not covered and the
hatch was not completely closed. I did see that the
engine bulk
head (about 3' x 4") will have to be replaced. All drawers and doors were on the boat and will require refinishing.
9. This boat has the A Plan layout with aft
head. The
wood is good but will need to be refinished.
10. The
interior V-Berth
cushions need new foam and covering. The settee and starboard
cushions appear OK.
11. This boat has a CNG
stove, 2 burner. The CNG tank is there under the starboad
cockpit. I would change the
Propane since it is easier to find, not as safe though.
12.The boat has a built in AC unit under the
stove. Will need to be checked. It has 2 outlets, 1 in the V-Berth area and 1 in the
salon.
13. It has a foot
pump for water in the
galley as well as a 12vdc
pump.
14. The
fuel tank did not appear to be rusted and is mount aft of the
engine. The engine instrutment is readable and mounted in the
cockpit.
15. It has an
anchor and approx 30 of chain and probably 150' of 3/8"
rode.
16. There is a
VHF radio, Tiller pilot, a DS, a
battery charger,
battery selector switch, but no battery or battery boxes
17. There are a set of dingy arms and stern mounts with the boat.
18. The lazerette tops will both have to be replace and a little
work done on the
storage lockers.
19. There is one port on the port side that has leaked and will require
removal and replacement of beaded board. I would pull and reseal all
ports and replace the O-Ring.
The
Cradle would probably cost $1500 to $2000 to build. There is approx 3350 pounds of lead in the
keel which is bolted on. The
rudder and tiller are okay.
If someone were interested in a shoal
draft Cat
Ketch, this a really good start at the asking price of $3000.
Email me if you need more info. I received the additional pictures from the owner and can forward them to you or you can request them. The boat is located about 50 miles north of Dallas on Hiway 69/75 just across the border in Oklahoma.
