We are not making any representations simply passing along 3rd party info.This vessel was a US Navy Admirals or Captain's personal and/or VIP Taxi. The are affectionally called Admirals Gigs or Captain's Gigs but technically they are taxis and the US Coast Guard will recognize it as such. If you are looking for a commercial taxi this vessel will be easy to walk through the passenger approval process.If your interested in having an UNSINKABLE YACHT and a safe and secure DIY personal yacht for your friends and family this is one anyone can put their personal touch on and they are very easy to convert to a personal Yacht, Dive Boat or combo Dive / Sport Fishing boat.We have bought and sold dozens and dozens of these vessels over the years and this is a top of the line vessel. Actually we have never had one with all these features:

1. There were many manufactures of these type of vessels and WILLARD is not only by far the very best manufacture but they are still in business.
2. Of those the WILLARD MK7 DOUBLE CABIN 33 (WDC33) is the best of all.
3. The most prized of the WDC33 have Cummins 6B engines. Of those;
4. The one most prized is the one with the head! This boat has it. Of those the most valuable are:
5. Low engine hours: This one only has 414 hrs. And,
6. The original ship's dolly / yard trailer. (Not included in this price but is optional for $2800)

That is a lot of top rated features, but if you don't know what's a captain's Gig is you might not begun to appreciate or understand the opportunity here. FYI: Captain's Gigs "were" the personal taxi of the Admiral's, Captain or high ranking officer on a Naval vessels. Under a directive issued by Naval Air Forces, all 11 carriers were required to turn in their captains gigs before June 30, 2009. Removal of the captains gig was done to reduce maintenance costs and free up valuable hangar bay space required by the boats. See article:http://www.navytimes.com/news/2008/02/navy_captgigs_080210w/The temporary windfall for buyers like ourselves is the ability to own a perfectly good Captain's / Officers transport that was removed due to US Naval Forces directive and not age or mechanical reasons. But this edict was in 2008 and all Captain's Gigs were removed by June 2009. This is one of the last of it's kind, we might not see this opportunity again.***ALL WEIGHTS AND MEASUREMENTS PROVIDED ARE APPROXIMATE AND MAY VARY***ENGINE CUMMINSFUEL: DIESELTOTAL ENGINE HOURS: 414SpecsBuilder: WillardCapacity Including Crew 241991 WILLARD DOUBLE CABIN CAPTAIN'S GIG w/ headHULL MATERIAL: FIBERGLASS SINGLE SKIN;DimensionsLOA: 33'Beam: 11'Maximum Draft: 4'Displacement: 15,000 lbsEnginesEngine Brand: CumminsEngine(s) HP: 220Engine Model: BTA5.9-220Engine Hours: 414TanksFuel Tanks: DieselAccommodationsForward and aft cabins, center cockpit.

NOTE: CRADLE/TRAILER NOT INCLUDED IN SALE BUT AVAILABLE FOR $2800 OBO...Answer to many questions:

1. The boat does run and is sea worthy, it will require new batteries, oil & filters. Personally, I would plan to flush fuel tanks and a few days of general maintenance
2. We do not finance
3. Would consider trades
4. The boat could be used as is but would probably be a wise investment to paint the bottom and possibly the top
5. The boat is in a secure storage yard and can be inspected at 100 Ave. T Del Rio Texas 78840
6. The vessel is sold ASISHowever we will guaranty our word, description and photos with a 14 day money back guarantee.

8. What would it need to splash the boat and drive away? New batteries, change oil and filters, other items such as but not limited to compass, life jackets and other safety equipment required by coast guard, VHF radio and make ready as would be required with any vessel that sat for a while.
9. The boat does not have a bimini top
10. Yard trailer is not DOT LEGAL, it's sole purpose is to move the boat around the ship and yard
11. Crane Load out fee is $700 which will be in addition to the purchase price
12. Delivery is available anywhere in the world. Inland shipping is approximately $2.50 per mile + permits & escort if needed.
