Description:

1978 Sisu downeast lobster boat. 22 feet. inboard. 130 Volvo. Disassembled to restore. Spinal injury forces sale. This is a massively over built hull compared to hulls built today. Hull was gel stripped by former owner, a marine surveyor. Hull has been stored indoors for eight years ad is super dry.

This boat is a project. Floors removed from cockpit. All hardware removed.

This hull was designed by Royal Lowell and is still in production today by the Lowell family in Maine.
