Seller Notes:

This is a complete boat with a Gray Marine 112 6-cylinder engine, a decent interior, and all the appropriate hardware. It needs bottom work because of oil leakage into the bilge. The engine has been removed but was running fine when removed.

Description:

This Resorter was in usable condition when I bought it, but an oil leak between the engine and transmission soaked the keel and adjacent planks. I removed the engine to repair the leak and degrease the planks. Neither job has been completed. The boat has been stored indoors for many years. There is no rot on the decks, except for a small area at one seam in the covering boards which has been repaired with epoxy. The hull seems rot-free, but one frame at the starboard chine feels like it has rotted at the joint (it cannot be seen without removing the rest of the floor). Varnish is amateur. The boat has an Iva-lite and Klaxon horn mounted on the deck. The engine ran fine when I purchased it. All of the instruments are correct and were in working order at that time. The interior is complete and in good condition, though it is not original. All chrome is present, but not perfect. There is a bow flagpole, but the stern light is missing. I have one that could be adapted (it looks correct, but has a two-pin base) The plexiglas windshield is OK. It sits on a custom trailer that tows well and has good older tires. I purchased it from Wisconsin and towed it to Northern Michigan where I live.
