I had these caps made a while back, made them where I could grease them at any time and keep grease on the pins. I have new impellers for the pumps, and I’m replacing the bilge float switch as well as many other things. I have the fuel gauge working for the first time ever in this boat. Getting ready to head out of Harbor towne marina in dania beach on June the third or fourth. (Depends on if we go straight over or spend a night in Bimini , Chub or Nassau.

This boat is available if anyone would like to have it. It is dirty and dusty, been sitting in the shop for a few years. Has not seen any rain since restored except for one short shower in Bimini in 2017 lol.

I used some parts off this boat to finish the 38.



It needs:

Engines

Left TRS drive (wrong gear ratio) you’ll get both drives with 25 pitch props

Gauges

trailer jack

Hydraulic steering pump (I may have one)

<<<EDIT>>> Needs K Planes




The good:

Low hours merctrans transmissions

All wood in hull has been replaced, except engine stringers.

Boat was painted about 10 years ago, and still looks good, been under roof except when used.

Original upholstery in good shape for age.

Low hours Latham hydro steering.

Trailer has new axles and new disc brakes.
Will give you two extra wheels with tires.




Boat has been to Bimini Bahamas three times and handles rough water very good.

I’ll take $2000, would like to see someone enjoy this boat again.

if somebody has a rotten boat with good hardware here’s yours ticket to the water. Swap over and go.

i need the space more than I need this boat!
