I have all the charts and chips you need to go all the way from Texas to Trinidad. I have a backup for everything. Water pump, macerator pump, alternator, hoses, belts, wiring, marine head, 40 series winch...I can't get it all in this ad. Two inflatable PFD's with harness and six other PFD's. Also, Apex 7 foot inflatable dinghy with Evinrude 6.5 HP outboard with separate tank. Rollup and solid marine plywood floor included. Davits to accommodate dinghy with running block for easy handling.
I am going to drive our fine and generous host David crazy if I go on, so if you are interested call or email for more info/pix. This is a turnkey deal, and I, with a big crocodile tear in my eye, will take you out and get you squared away on handling her if you desire.
