CAZADORA

In the summer of 2014 the process to transform this classic vessel started with it basically being virtually disassembled. Engines were removed. The hull was thoroughly inspected and any imperfections were addressed. All the thru hulls were relocated and new bronze fittings installed. The tanks had been replaced previously (estimated age, 2003) and those under the cockpit deck (which were in good condition) remained in place, the two saddle tanks in the engine room were removed, inspected, then recoated and re-plumbed. Engine beds were checked and refinished. Dripless shaft logs and rudder shaft seals were installed. The original hull portholes were removed and filled. The spray/chine rails were repaired as needed (they are full length), the keel was removed, the hull which had been fiberglass coated had more glass added for strength on the chine rail. The hull then was faired and prepped for repaint. There are cockpit spray rails covered with stainless strike plates about a foot above the waterline. The bridge deck was redesigned with the brow being rebuilt with closed-cell foam core as well as the deck seating. The interior cabinetry was made with Okoume Marine ply, fiberglass, and teak veneer. 

The finished project delivered a modern, stylish, and high-quality interior and bridge deck on a thoroughly refinished Classic Carolina hull.  The first impression factor was raised dramatically with refinishing of the teak transom, teak coverboards (which were both new in ’06), and the addition of a finely fitted and varnished teak helm pod. She also has a faux finished teak toe rail and a varnished bridge deck cap rail. Accented by varnished teak ladderback Bluewater helm and companion chairs and a Bluewater teak rocket launcher. The hull is light blue with a navy blue boot stripe and light grey bottom paint.  The hull has a sharp entry forward with a subtle Carolina Flair, at her transom a notable tumblehome, and a classic broken shearline with hull side engine room vents.  Decks and deckhouse are white with teak decking on the cockpit and bridge-deck soles.  The finished project left the boatyard in February of 2016 and has seen very light usage since. The boat presents well and will make its next owner proud.
