Brief history: Tom purchased this beautiful boat back in 1978 from a local dealer & piloted it home to his Long Island canal home. He is a former TWA ground maintenance supervisor who retired from TWA. His excellent and disciplined mechanical skills have enable Tom to keep this boat in excellent running condition over the years. He replaced the original 327 single engine with an upgrade 350 GM engine and added a fresh water cooling system. The engine currently has only 500 hrs. of run time.

The "Mary C" has an open cockpit with a soft top (no flying bridge), hull has never been damaged or sunk, interior needs new upholstery and general minor restoration & sleeps 4. Stern fantail has a center opening in railing which makes this boat perfect for sport scuba diving.

Tom needs to sell this boat immediately as he finally realized his health no longer allows him to take the boat out or be stable enough to ride as a passenger. It is currently still in the water of his canal, docked next to his home. Earth around his home needs to be filled in before supporting weight of boat & someone needs to take this boat quickly before first winter freeze causes the canal to freeze over, trapping and possibly damaging the hull.

It is our wish that someone who understands the classic value & collector significance of this boat can be able to purchase it from Tom and help him with mounting medical bills & costs of medications. We are all saddened to part with the Mary C but no one in the family, East and West Coast, is in a position to save her. Most of the family has grown up with the boat & is heart broken to see her go. We would love to know she would be given a loving new home. Please call Tom with info of anyone you may know who would like this classic Commander. (516) 826-4139 or cell: (949) 394-8957
