Fully restored these boats are advertized for $44,000 to $70,000. This is your opportunity to purchase a classic, while at the same time supporting the Groton Sea Scouts ship 584.
She is in great shape. She will need a little bit of cosmetic maintenance to bring her up to Bristol shape. If you want to go fishing with the boys, she is just about there. She went in the water on June 19. Her starboard engine is running perfectly, while her port engine needs a starter. It shoould be in in the next few days. The Sea Scouts skipper brought her to thier mooring under one engine, and called to tell me how well she handled as such.
Her engines and systems have clearly been maintained meticulously. They have new carburetors, new alternators, water pumps, and distributors. The engines are winterized, and should be ready to go for the season. She is in Groton, CT. Make an appointment to have a look!
Layout:
Starting aft is the huge deck which is perfect for bringing in big fish, or for sitting back and enjoying the ride. The decks are teak, and though they are no longer perfect they are still in great shape. There is easy access to the engines and gen set via easily lifted covers. Note the over built cleats aft, and the teak swim platform.
Head up the ladder to the fly bridge, where one can easily take command of this great fishing machine. There is one seat- for the captain, but one could add several more on to the sturdy platform.
The foredeck is solid and easily accessible for anchoring.
The main salon has a drop down settee on the starboard side, with a helm station forward. The wheel and panel are currently detached. Take a close look and see how well put together the wiring is.
On the port side aft you will find a work bench. Forward is the galley with hot and cold running water, a large sink, electric fridge, princess 3 burner electric stove, and stowage.
Lifting the panels on the soul you will find the electric water heater, as well as the holding tank, water tank, and fresh water pump.
Forward below the helm station is a head with an electric head that is plumbed to a holding tank. There is a shower wet up as well, but it has been blocked off. It should be very easy to set it up again.
All the way forward is the forward berth. The bunk has just enough room for two people who feel very comfortable together. One could extend the bunk out to make it wider. There is also a hanging locker, as well as another locker. Access to the anchor locker is easy.
