West Marine

I have a very nice West Marine dinghy that I purchased last year to be used as a reading center for a kindergarten classroom. The boat has been removed from the classroom and we have no need for it.The dinghy came off of a 60+ft yacht that the owners were updating. They had a small crane they used to lower the boat into the water. They had an outboard mounted on it. You can tell it was used very little. The transom is extremely sturdy and could certainly handle more than the stated 4 hp.

I have inspected the boat and have found no cracks or soft spots. It appears to be a solid fiberglass because the weight is only listed at 42 pounds.It has holes for oars. and a sturdy aluminum motor bracket. It looks like a very stable and well designed little boat.

Not sure of age, but doesn't look too old.Here are the specifications from the plate:

Persons: 4Since I had no use for it on the water, I bought it without a title, but I am sure the Marine Fisheries could look up the owner and send them paperwork for you to transfer into your name. Or, if you just use it with oars, I don't believe you need to register it.
