Specification

I bought this rare Yachtfish model in New Jersey in November 2006, with the intention of restoring her. She had been sitting for a while, but with a bit of work under the supervision of a reputable surveyor (survey available), we launched her and motored down to her present location in DC. The rebuilt 8-V53’s smoke a bit, but settle down under load. One or more of the pistons of the stbd engine leaks fuel past the rings, but that’s a fairly easy repair and does not render her inoperable. Upon arrival, we removed the rusty tanks and all the fuel lines. These will need to be replaced. We also removed all hazmats and power-washed the bilges. The rotting aft cockpit floor was removed to get to the tanks and it will need to be replaced. The aft bulkhead between the cockpit and the aft cabin will need to be replaced. I lived aboard her over the long cold winter and have insulated most of the cabin ceilings, painted the main cabin and started putting down new flooring. There is a spare stainless shaft section and 2 props.

What works: engines, 12? kw genset, electric toilet, cold shore water, all interior 32vdc system and charger, 120vac system, three new starting batteries plus house bank.

What doesn’t: A/C (I have a rolling portable 10,000 btu unit which I will include). Needs second bilge pump, but has a new 120vac emergency sump pump. She needs new fuel tanks and lines to move under her own power again. She needs a holding tank and plenty of TLC. She might need a new water heater (I haven’t tested it yet.

Extensive survey available upon request and contact info of the captain who brought her down here. The pics are from when she was layed up in New Jersey and others are available upon request.

Why selling? I have a new job 45 miles from the boat and I won’t have as much time for the restoration. I love this boat and am not going to give her away. Plus, I have a 35’ Chris Catalina aft cabin and one boat has to go!
