As many of you know, this boat sunk on me several months ago. Here are some pre & post sinking pictures.

This picture was taken as soon as she was pulled out after sinking.

I am fairly certain that she somehow got caught underneath the dock behind our home. As soon as the boat was pulled out of water by our very own Finster, I wisked her away to my friendly mechanic. He had both engines running in about a ½ hour. He then pickled them. The buyer can either try to reuse these engines or part them out.

The boat is for sale, as is, for $4,500. For another $1,500, I will include a 2005 Venture bunk style trailer.


Here is what comes with the boat

Boat
1978 23’ SF. Redid bolster cushions and leaning post in 2005. Also, installed a new Seastar hydraulics steering system. Nice teak work. Nice tee top w/electronic box and screen enclosure. Also, the transom was replaced in 1998.

Engine
Twin 1998 150 HP Yamaha’s w/stainless steel prop’s. I am guessing that they have about 650 hours. Cruise in low 30’s & WOT of 43MPH or so (at 5,300 RPM’s).

Electronics
2 VHF radios, Furuno 1623CF GPS/FF, Furuno 1610 radar, Apelco loran, Apelco color FF (Note – since the sinking I removed both the Furuno Radar and GPS/FF units. I attached them to a marine battery. They both powered up. However, this does not mean they will wrok for the long term)

As a result of the submerging, the boat needs to be rewired. Without it nothing will power on. Also, there are two soft spots on the deck.

If you have any questions, please fire away.

Thanks for looking.

PS If I don't sell it to a CSC lurker by this weekend, off she goes to EBAY. Also, the boat is located on Long Beach Island, NJ. I will be down there on Saturday should anyone want to see the boat.
