This vessel has the "cruising package" which included a navigation lights, an interior light, a portable head, a small sink with hand pump, a 5 gallon fresh water tank and an alcohol stove. I do not have the stove and frankly I do not see where it would go. There are no interior cushions although there are cockpit cushions which could be used in a pinch. She also sports the optional teak cockpit cocktail table.
She comes with a Chrysler 6hp Sailer 150 longshaft. It is a pull start. She looks good and clean. The lower unit was properly stored over winter (drained of lube). The only problem I can find is I do not see how the cowling attaches to the front of the motor. There does not seem to be any piece missing or broken however - so I may just be missing something. The original 6 gallon fuel tank and hoses are in good shape and also included. There is a well just ahead of the stern designed for the fuel tank.
There is no battery, compass, or radio. It does not appear there ever was a compass or a radio. There is no anchor rode, anchor, dock lines, life jackets or other safety equipment.
Four sails are included - Vector brand. Looks to me like Main, Jenny 150, storm jenny and a rainbow Spinnaker. There is also a main sheet cover. Their condition is excellent, almost new looking with no tears, pulled seams/stitching or apparent repairs. The spinnaker looks like it was barely used. This boat layed on either a trailer or a lift on a inland lake and was rarely used and obviously never to its full potential.
Also included is the original rigging guide.
I would rate this boat a 7 out of 10. There are very few dings, digs, or spider web cracks. The bottom has never been painted(!) and the sides still show some gloss. The topsides and cockpit would benifit from a wax job as they lack much gloss. No chalking though. The deck hardware needs to be re-bedded. This is normal maintence that the previous owner had failed to do. Because of such at both mid cockpit lifeline stanchions water has seeped behind the fittings and saturated the plywood backings. I had planned at the end of the boating season on grinding away the punky wood from inside and epoxy in a new piece. Like most jobs that require no special skills it isn't too hard or much fun. This neglect has also led to water to puddle on top of the port side qurater berth and it's horizontal surface an about a 14 x 18 section needs to be cut out and a new piece of plywood epoxied in. This is NOT structural. The wood is not glassed in. It is simply a piece of plywood that had exposed edges at the storage lid opening that wicked the water up. Total cost of these repairs would equal to a quart of epoxy, less than a 4x4 piece of plywood, five bucks worth of fiberglass cloth and a weekend of grunting.
Hi David -
I sold my boat. Took a deposit within 3 days (ya think I might have sold it too cheap?) of posting and the fellow drove from Maryland and picked it up yesterday (6/21/05).
Thanks for your terrific service!
All went smoothly!
