I love my boat, I know it was a blessing from above as my health improved tremendously working with this fine vessel. I have since relocated to another part of the USA and its no longer practical for me to keep her. She has been to Catalina Island within the past 12 months (see YouTube video) so she's not derelict. She did take on some water and I did flush the engine and it ran fine until I let her sit for some months now she has a stuck valve but she's in good shape otherwise. I have all the original sails, even a code zero I pawned to a buddy of mine... I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story. Monel tanks, 20 gal gas, 42 gal fresh water, 240 watt solar with agm, weather fax receiver, vhf, full basic navigation instruments, ice box, head, sleeps 4 comfortably, very solid hull, copper coat, several anchors, plenty of scope, a few outboards, library, nice lines, solid wood boom, vang, Genoa, storm jib, working jib, 150% jib, tiller sterring with more than two tiller pilots, cushions for cockpit, chain plates show no sign of degradation, through hulls in good shape, 20 gal black water tank, all around a very sturdy ocean going cruiser. A classic that is worth keeping afloat, dependable and a real workhorse. $4,500 is all i'm asking. She needs a little TLC but for what you're getting it's a steal! Call me direct 213 then 361 and 4124 Warren

Howdy, Your ad would really benefit from more pictures. How are the decks and cabin top, do they have soft spots? Any water leaks from the deck/hull joint?


Does the boat have a Hull number? What is the boats name?


Thanks

Hull #8. Deck joint doesn't leak, only a screw in the toe rail leaks on the starboard when I soak the boat during washing our a rain. No soft spots. Boat it's very solid.

Well I can't tell because I'm in Texas and the boat is in Los Angeles but I seem to think I have may have lost my boat. She was a fine vessel, cleaned up very pretty someone would have been very happy with her like I was. She would have went anywhere in the world a worthy Captain would have taken her. Today marks a sad day in my life but then there's many of those. Now I feel stuck. I feel like a prisoner stranded. Anyways, I had to vent. Thank you for listening whoever you are. May God be with you, fairwinds and full sails.
