Present Owner Purchased Vessel in 2014 (see pictures labeled 2014) and wanted to restore her and update her to her original previous glory with modern updated mechanical and machinery systems while keeping her classic esthetics. Unfortunately, new owner had some major health issues and had to abandon the project in 2017. She presently sits on the hard. At the time the project was put on hold. When project was put on hold, she was just about ready to be put back in the water and the rest of the work was to continue dockside at a slip.
Owner did make sure systems were taken care of. All fuel was pumped out of all tanks and tanks were treated. Main engines were “pickled” and rust mitigation was performed so somebody can take over project.

Before present owner fell ill, he had spent in access of $500K concentrating on her hull, running gear, and electrical conversion.
