The boat as it is today

The boat had been worked on by the previous owner for a number of years intermittently. The bulk of the work he did was stripping the paint that a previous owner had, in a fit of madness, applied to every mahogany surface on the interior of this once-beautiful boat. But, as you can see, much work remains.

The head also has a shower. All the fixtures are lost and must be replaced.


The head, or what's left of it.

The front stateroom or V-birth. The mattress is long gone. All of the wood remains, either in place or removed and stored. Also, all of the solid mahogany doors remain and are in good shape. I don't think I would have bought the boat if they were gone.


The V-birth. Most of the paint has been stripped, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Here are the parts that the previous owner had removed. Some have been chromed and are in good shape. Some are not. Some, frankly, I have no idea what to do with. But that's the fun.
