Sold as is, where is - Project Boat
Her twin Ford Lehman 120hp diesels, with only around 800 hours, are legendary for their reliability and endurance — a significant value in themselves. (Note: port engine requires a new starter.)
Interior & Layout
Inside, her classic teak parquet floors and Corinthian marble sinks in both heads highlight her original craftsmanship.
A spacious galley with generous light and storage provides the perfect foundation for a comfortable liveaboard setup, while her expansive upper deck invites easy entertaining or relaxation at anchor.
Currently hauled out on the hard, the hull, running gear, propellers, and thru-hulls are all fully accessible for inspection or immediate project work. It’s the ideal time and setting for the next owner to begin her transformation.
