Galati Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by Bluewater Yacht Sales.
The vessel was originally constructed of conventional Navy lighter design with a plumb stem, rounded bilge and rounded stern. During the refit, the bottom was completely replaced and a raked stem was welded to the bow, adding an additional 12 feet to the overall length and creating a collision bulkhead by incorporating original bow as bulkhead. The hull is comprised of steel plating welded to a grid work of steel stringers and frames. It is constructed with four transverse watertight bulkheads dividing the hull into a forepeak, crews quarters, guest and owner berthing, engine room and lazarette. The main deck of the vessel is provided with welded bulwarks around the perimeter. Access to the engine compartment is gained through a hatch located at the after section of the cabin. The initial superstructure consisted of a fabricated steel hard top over the mid-body cabin space. The cabin has since been extended and the pilothouse completely reconfigured.
The main deck is configured with a raised foc'scle with welded bulwarks around the perimeter; the periphery of the 01 deck is fitted with stainless steel rails and stanchions. Access to the 01 level is provided by stairs located forward of the house.
