Originally constructed as an offshore commercial fishing boat with 5 internal bulkheads, First Lady has a storied history of offshore fishing, towing, and log salvage. In approx. 2003 she was re powered with the current Perkins diesel (462 hours), keel coolers, and a 12" bow thruster was added. In 2012 she was converted from a commercial vessel to a pleasure yacht with many systems being replaced. First Lady has been stored inside a building for the past 5 years but the stack was plumbed out through the roof so she was able to be run inside each month, up until this last year. The hull and superstructure is very solidly constructed of laid up fiberglass, which was painted with epoxy paint. Bottom paint and zincs were renewed when the boat was put into dry storage.

Electronics include a radar, chart plotter, compass, and VHF radio. The...Read more »

Hydraulics power several systems onboard assisting the burden of maintenance; bow thruster, drum anchor windlass,prawn/crab trap puller, and boom davit. Electronics include a radar, chart plotter, compass, and VHF radio. The galley is outfitted with a new diesel stove, Norcold fridge, and plenty of storage. With heavy displacement, hard chines, and steadying poles, this is a comfortable boat to weather out almost any storm.I acquired the vessel as part of a property purchase and am looking for a buyer. Many systems and components are new, although untested, and I expect the batteries will require replacement. Sold as is, buyer responsible for pickup and transport.
