36 Freeboard aft. 6,600 +- lbs. Welded Steel, Twin Ks (original 620+ hours). Model RSE 25-512

The boat is rare, in all my research and all pages devoted to Roamers, there is not another RSE to be seen.

The Roamer is stronger and more seaworthy than all other boats of its time, in fact this RSE model was designed and used as Police and Fire patrol boats and broke ice on Lake St Clair

I do not want to sell it, BUT- not to tell a sad story, - medically I have to.

I will entertain as part payment a smaller Boston Whaler or antique auto.

Excellent Strong hull- I cant see any damage or even scuffing on the rails. DOES NOT NEED SWELLING. The hardware looks re chromedbut is original, only the spotlight shell has very small pitting. Twin K engines are original with 620 and 621 low hours with NEW or re-manufacturedregulators, starters and generators.

Trailer IS NOT included

2 holes were left when the shaft logs were removed,need welding. upholstery, varnishing, headliner. and linoleum need finishing . Wiring for engine controls are in place and need hooked up. Name is not included.
