Pacemaker Motor Yacht

FOR SALE IS OUR 1973 FIBERGLASS PACEMAKER 40 MOTORYACHT .

THESE PACEMAKERS HAVE BEEN DESIRABLE AS LIVEABOARDS OVER THE YEARS ,THE APPEALING THING ABOUT THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR UNLIKE A LOT OF OTHER SIMILAR STYLE BOATS IS THAT SHE HAS A QUEEN BED IN THE AFT MASTER STATEROOM AS APPOSED TO 2 SPLIT SINGLE BEDS WHICH YOU TEND TO FIND IN A LOT OF OLDER BOATS HAVE ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT SHE HAS BEEN REPOWERED WITH MARINE POWER 454'S WHICH IS A HUGE PLUS

SHE IS SOMEWHAT OF A PROJECT AS SHE WAS STANDING ON THE HARD FOR A FEW YEARS , THE PICTURES YOU SEE ARE CURRENT AND WERE TAKEN ON 02-19-2019 SO AS THEY SAY WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET BUT THE GOOD THING IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE PICTURES IS CURRENT AND NOT 3 YEAR OLD SHE WAS LAST OUT THE WATER 2 MONTHS AGO SO DOES NOT HAVE YEARS OF GROWTH BENEATH THE WATER LINE .

SHE WAS LIENED FOR NON PAYMENT OF STORAGE , WE HAVE A CLEAR MARYLAND TITLE IN OUR NAME READY TO CONVEY TO THE NEW OWNER UPON COMPLETION OF PAYMENT .

I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE OVERALL CONDITION , PLEASE KEEP IN MIND SHE IS NOT A NEW BOAT AND IN OUR EYES WE ARE SELLING HER FOR THE VALUE OF THE ENGINES .

BELOW THE WATERLINE SHE IS IN DECENT SHAPE , THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY BLISTERS, I THINK I MAY HAVE SOME PICTURES I TOOK AT THE END OF THE YEAR 2018 BEFORE LAUNCHING ON MY CELL PHONE , THE WHEELS (PROPELLERS) ARE BOTH IN GOOD CONDITION AS ARE THE RUDDERS .SHE HAS BEEN IN THE WATER FOR AROUND 2 MONTHS AND BEFORE THAT SHE WAS STORED ON LAND FOR A FEW YEARS WHERE THE OLD OWNER STOPPED PAYING THE STORAGE HENCE THE BOAT WAS LIENED .THE DECK IS SOLID UNDERFOOT AND I DID NOT DETECT ANY VISIBLE SOFT AREAS .THE REAR COCKPIT AREA IS SOLID ,WE JUST INSTALLED A NEW INDOOR OUTDOOR CARPET AS THE OLD ONE WAS DIRTY AND DID NOT LOOK GOOD ANYMORE . WHERE YOU CLIMB THE LADDER TO GET UP TO THE FLYBRIDGE AREA THERE WAS A WOODEN TRIM PIECE THAT GOES AROUND THE GANGWAY THAT WE HAVE JUST HAD A MARINE TECHNICIAN REPLACE THIS WEEK WITH A NEW STARBOARD SURROUND SO IT CAN NO LONGER DETERIATE AND LOOKS A LOT BETTER, WE HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE .UP ON THE FLYBRIDGE THERE ARE 2 LOCKER COVERS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH ARE MISSING .

WHEN YOU ENTER DOWN BELOW YOU WILL SEE THAT OVERALL SHE IS NOT IN BAD CONDITION JUST NEEDING SOME TLC , THE CARPET I DO BELIEVE WILL CLEAN UP OR PERSONALLY I WOULD JUST REPLACE IT ,WE JUST HAD THE WINDOW FRAMES BELOW THE WINDOWS IN THE SALON ARE ALL REINFORCED , THIS WAS DONE PROFESSIONALLY WITH SOLID WOOD NOT A CHEAP PLY , IT WAS A $1500 JOB AND MAKES THE SALON INTERIOR LOOK FAR BETTER THAN IT USED TO LOOK ORIGINALLY .I PUT A WHITE SHEET OVER THE SOFA WHICH ALTHOUGH IS ALL SOLID WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS IS STARTING TO SHOW ITS AGE IN THE WAY THAT IS IS STARTING TO DISCOLOR , PERSONALLY I WOULD TAKE IT OUT AND PUT A NEW SLEEP SOFA IN ITS PLACE OR GET A BETTER COVER TO PUT OVER THE EXISTING SOFA .

IN THE AFT MASTER CABIN YOU WILL FIND A HUGE AMOUNT OF STORAGE SPACE , HANGING CLOSET WHICH IS CEDAR LINED AND A SEPERATE BUILT IN SEATING AREA ,WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE RECOVERED CUSHIONS WHICH ARE IN GOOD CONDITION . THERE IS AN EN SUITE BATHROOM WITH TOILET(HEAD) AND SEPERATE STAND UP SELF ENCLOSED SHOWER .

UP FORWARD IS ANOTHER V BERTH CABIN WITH SEPERATE TOILET AND BASIN AND ANOTHER HANGING CLOSET .

THIS IS A VERY ROOMY BOAT , IT DOES HAVE AIR CONDITIONING HOWEVER I WILL TELL YOU UPFRONT WE HAVE NOT TESTED ANY OF THE SYSTEMS SO ALTHOUGH SOME THINGS ARE SURE TO WORK OTHER THINGS MAY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT , WITH THAT BEING SAID NONE OF THESE SHOULD COST TOO MUCH .

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OF THIS PACEMAKER IS THAT THE ENGINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED , THEY ARE NEWER MARINE POWER 454'S . THERE ARE 451 HOURS SHOWING ON THE HOUR METER

AS WE ARE NOT SURE OF THE CONDITION OF THE FUEL IN THE TANKS WE HAVE RUN THE ENGINES OFF AN AUXILIARY TANK .

I WOULD PLAN ON SERVICING BOTH ENGINES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A LONG TRIP AS THEY HAVE BEEN STANDING THAT SAID WE HAVE RUN THEM SO I AM TALKING ABOUT OIL CHANGES , I WOULD PERSONALLY LOOK AT PLUGS , FILTERS , I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER HAVING THE CARBURETORS SERVICED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL HAVE HAD OLD FUEL SITTING IN THEM , THE SHAFT SEALS/ PACKING GLANDS ARE NOT LEAKING EITHER .

AS THIS IS AN OLDER BOAT AND WE HAVE NOT OWNED IT FOREVER I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU MY OPINION , IT WILL NEED SOME TLC , IT CAN ABSOLUTELY MAKE AN AWESOME LIVEABOARD WITH SOME SWEAT EQUITY , I FEEL WE HAVE PRICED HER VERY FAIRLY AND WE CAN ASSIST YOU WITH ANY WORK YOU NEED DOING BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL BE CHARGED SEPARATELY .WE DID LIST THIS BOAT ONCE BEFORE ,GOT AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE 15 CALLS IN 3 DAYS , I HAD IT SOLD TO A BUYER IN TEXAS WE WENT AHEAD AND HAD A BUNCH OF WORK DONE WHICH I LISTED ABOVE , WINDOW REPAIR , CARPET OUTSIDE ETC BUT THE COST OF SHIPPING BECAME PROHIBITIVE AS WELL AS NEEDING THE FLYBRIDGE TO BE REMOVED IF TRUCKING BY ROAD SO HERE WE ARE AGAIN RELISTING FOR $2000 MORE TO COVER THE EXTRA EXPENSES THAT WERE INCURRED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONETHIS IS TO LET YOU KNOW IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING WHY I RELISTED IT AT A HIGHER PRICE .

STORAGE IS $265 ON A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS ALTHOUGH IF YOU PAY THE SLIP ANNUALLY IT IS CHEAPER .

THE BOAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE WATER , THE PICTURES YOU SEE ARE CURRENT ,

IT IS OBVIOUSLY BEING SOLD AS IS DUE TO THE AGE , I THINK WHEN READING THIS BACK I FEEL LIKE I AM PAINTING A PICTURE OF DOOM AND GLOOM , I AM NOT I WOULD RATHER POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS THINGS I KNOW THAT WAY NOBODY IS UPSET AND EVERYONE IS REALISTIC , I THINK SHE CAN EASILY BE CLEANED UP NOW WITH EVEN LESS TO DO AND EITHER LIVED ON OR USED , SHE DOES HAVE AMAZING POTENTIAL AND IS PRICED VERY REASONABLY CONSIDERING HER REPOWER .LASTLY NOT TO BE RUDE BUT PLEASE DONT BOTHER TRYING TO LOW BALL ME , I AM NOT DESPERATE AND AM NOT GOING TO GIVE THE BOAT AWAY ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SPRING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER . I WOULD LIKE TO SELL IT BUT IF IT DOES NOT WORK OUT WE ARE THINKING OF PUTTING SOME MONEY INTO A REHAB AND MAKING IT AN AIRBNB .I DO HAVE A CLEAR MARYLAND TITLE TO CONVEY TO THE NEW OWNER .
