This is truly a one of a kind! Built in 1983 and totally rebuilt in 2000-2005 at a cost of nearly $500,000. Shes available at a fraction of that amount, do not let this one get by you if interested!

There is a commercial-quality, Danforth compensated ships compass with 6-inch card at the helm. Luxurious Todd 5-Star helm chair in beige leather, with stand and footrest. Stainless steel, fully dogged and gasketed opening ports with screens. Custom shower with Scandvik fixtures, separate from head, Lectrasan system with salt-feed system, tank monitors, 100-gallons of diesel in two tanks. Fifty-gallon fresh water tank (you do not need a huge tank when you can make your own fresh water underway), with shore water hook up, water heater, hot and cold pressurized water system. Large search light, air horns and 'steam' whistle (powered by air compressor). Custom mattress in forward cabin. Twin anchors forward with Maxwell windlass. Large Fortress storm anchor mounted atop aft cabin. Man overboard recovery sling system mounted atop pilothouse and using paravane block and tackle. Bow thruster added recently. Dive platform at stern. Heavy-duty davit system for dinghy. Davits also serve as ventilators for the lazarette. Multiple solar-powered vents in forward and aft cabins and pilothouse. Aft cabin, galley with two-burner electric cooktop, sink, and large refrigerator/freezer. Fold-down mahogany table has 19-coat varnish finish. Flat-screen TV with tunable antenna and cable hook up.

Wind-powered generator (not often seen on power boats). Complete weather station. Built-in vacuum system. Passive paravane stabilizers. Deliberately built to accommodate two adults overnight. Several people can comfortably day sail on the boat. Aft cabin (all steel) was added, the entire interior replaced (including all wiring and plumbing), electrical panels, teak and holly soles, white walls, overheads, hatches, main shaft, propeller, mahogany pilothouse sliding doors (port and starboard) and aft cabin hatch. Stabilizing sponsons (steel), bowsprit and aft dive platform were added, along with the paravane stabilization system, and twin bilge keels, which also provide stability. Every inch of the hull has been tested and approximately two-thirds of the hull plates have been replaced. Cited length is length on deck, not including bowsprit and diving platform. There is a removable, stainless steel dive ladder that can be mounted on the stern. Deck is a complete walk-around on one level. Decks are steel, with appropriate anti-skid treatment (the pilothouse roof is also non-skid). Rails are heavily built and ship-like. Cleats are integrated with scuppers and bulwarks, keeping decks clear, an important safety feature. GlobalFix 406 EPIRB with manual release. Ring buoys are located port and starboard and a horseshoe buoy system is located at the stern. Top quality commercial-style fenders, Para-Tech 15-foot-diameter sea anchor with 300 feet of massive braided line on swivels, a 48-inch-diameter drogue, a smaller raft drogue and other gear are not currently stored on the boat, but can now be provided to the buyer at no additional cost, along with many other accessories, some subject to prior sale. A well-used Avon 10-ft.-3-in. RIB with newer small four-stroke engine, newer trailer, plus accessories, can now be included at no additional cost, but also subject to prior sale. The currently available accessory items are worth many thousands of dollars.

The name of the vessel is CAREB (with a long accent over the "E"), which was her original name. Her USCG documentation number is 655263. A prior owner had renamed her as "Becky B II," and the current owner restored the original name. The boat was originally documented as a fishing vessel, but she evidently was never used as such, nor has she been used for any kind of fishing since 2000. The engine room has excellent access via three hatches in the pilothouse. With those hatches closed, it does not have standing headroom in the engine room. The boat cruises comfortably and economically at 7.5 to eight knots. She draws 4.5 feet.
