Classic Fiberglass Lapstrake Canal CruiserI built Petunia II two years ago from a retired Canadian lifeboat.15' long with a beam of 5', she has plenty of room inside the cockpit for your cruising and sight seeing.Most of the hardware is antique or vintage but she is a modern cruiser with all new electrical, fuel system. Solid fiberglass hull, no core.Powered by a quiet and efficient Yamaha 15 HP 4-Cycle outboard or the MinnKota 50 pound thrust electric trolling motor, Petunia II is a perfect cruiser to take some time off and spend the afternoon with some quiet time.Here's a list of some of the parts/items that make this boat special:-"Bow Pudding" custom made by Barbara Merry, "The Marlinspike Artist"-Rhode Island.-1 1/2" Manila twisted rope rubrail. (Treated with Thompson's Water Seal and bedded in 3M-5200, screwed to the rail with SS screws).-Red Cedar edge glued (West System Epoxy) fore and aft decks.-Steam-bent clear pine side decks, coaming and rails.-9' antique oars with vintage oarlocks.-Sparton boat horn.-Lowrance "Elite-5 HDI GPS Chartplotter/Depth Sounder with "DownScan Imaging". (Provides a sepia picture of the bottom).-Yamaha 15 HP 4-Cycle Outboard Motor, new carburetor, running on Non-Ethanol gas only. On board flushing system.-3 gallon fuel tank. (The three gallon tank lasts a long time with this motor).-MinnKota 50 pound thrust electric trolling motor.-2 Group-27 deep cycle 12 volt batteries (to power the electric motor).-Outboard motor tiller extension.-4 new Lifejackets in case.-Weems & Plath quartz marine clock and matching barometer (with hydrometer/temp).-Two bilge pumps (Rule 2000 and Rule 500) with new flappers. (Boat hull is solid fiberglass, no leaks).-Extensive electrical panel with all marine grade switches, battery ON/OFF selector, volt meter gauge, 12 volt output jack.-Ancor marine tinned copper wiring throughout the boat.-2 new throw cushions.-2 new sitting cushions.-New heavy duty Continental galvanized trailer.-New "Sunbrella" custom made cover with two HD zippers/Velcro.Lots more to describe but if you are looking for a very classy and memorable canal cruiser, take a good look at Petunia II's pictures and give me a call to arrange a showing.You can use deck or beach chairs or do what we do, sit on long cushions on the floor. The boat is very stable and comfortable. We've cruised the Intracoastal, Cortez to LBK and the local canals.Note that Petunia II was built by me and we planned on cruising on her for years but I recently moved to a canal condo community and only one boat is allowed, therefore she has to move onto a new home.Petunia II is fairly light weight and easy to trailer and to launch. No need for a large car/truck to pull her from port to port.Bob/BradentonLocated close to the Bradenton Gulf BeachesClear Title and Bill of Sale
