She is in great shape - she lived on Lake Superior for 55 years, until last year when I brought her down to MS. Twin CC 327 V8's - shows 2200 hrs, but PO said the engines were rebuilt at about 1400 hrs. Took me three weeks to bring her down the MS River to Columbus and the engines burned less than half a qt each. Recently added a water heater, 9k MarinAire Air Conditioner, Blue Seas 110v breaker panel and new elec toilet. Also added a 1000 watt inverter, powered by two 12 v batteries, that will run the fridge and TV at anchor. She hops up on plane easily! Interior mahogany and cushions are in great shape. Many more photos are available. Comes with a three axel trailer, that has new lights and great tires.!! $24,000. Charles Mortimer - 601-613-8582.
On the TN River on the way down to Columbus, MS. That Gold LOOP burgee came from our former 45' trawler when we completed the LOOP in fall of 2022. And she has a 30 gal holding tank and 40 gal fresh water tank, and fresh bottom paint and zincs.
beautiful vessel, if you dont mind the question, why sell such a charming cruiser/
We bought a motor home and are cruising the western states! Hate to sell her, but a boat needs to be used.
Not knowing anything road regulations or clearance requirements, is the trailer sufficient to move the boat to Michigan? Plz send photos to rjrose31558@gmail.com. Thanx
Yes, the trailer is in good shape. When I bought it, I had it trailered over 200 miles down to south of St Paul, MN. He used a one ton truck and had no issues at all. We did remove the enclosed radar antenna from the roof just to be safe - but went under many bridges on the interstate Hwy with no problems. The six tires have less than one thousand miles on them. I’ll send more photos tomorrow. Thanks for your interest.
Also might be a fun trip to take it up to MI on its on bottom - would take a bit of fuel ( with some extra tanks), but I would be happy to help. I brought her down the rivers from St Paul to Columbus, MS two years ago - fun trip- but of course we were going down river😂
Thanx for photos. She's a good looking gal. The trip would be interesting, that's for sure. Did the PO have documentation on the engine rebuilds?
Sorry, no info on the rebuild. The work was done around 2002 as I understand. The guy I purchased her from had owned the boat about nine years. He bought it from the original owner, who owned it for 46 years. He is deceased now. Both engines run great and don’t burn much oil at all. She hops up on plane great - draws a crowd in every marina I’ve been in with her.
And as of last summer, she has fresh bottom paint and new zincs. Did that when I had her hauled out to install new seacock for the new air conditioning/heating system. MarinAire 9K unit - works great.
I'm looking into the width & height regulations. Permits will be required. I'll let you know what I find out.
I’m heading up to the boat today (2 hr drive) and I’ll get exact width. As I said before, I don’t think height wii be an issue. The trucker that moved it for me put “wide load’ signs on the back.
Thanks
As best as I can measure, looks like about 11’ at the widest part of the boat.
Let me know if are still interested in the boat - have a few others looking.
I have to bow out. The moving expense would be prohibitive. Thanx.
Oh, you can rent a 3/4 or 1 ton truck and tow it easily. That was my plan, til I decided to take it down the rivers to MS. That trip, with gas and marinas was pricer than renting a truck. Let me know.
Thanks
Interstate highways have a width restriction of 8.5 feet for a trailered load.
