Description: Rick James
PROJECT... PROJECT.. PROJECT BLANK CANVAS.
ORIGINALLY BUILT TO SURVEY.... [ NOT IN SURVEY NOW AND IT IS QUICKER TO DRAW AND BUILD A NEW VESSEL THAN TO TRY TO GET THIS BACK IN SURVEY. ] THIS PROJECT WILL APPEAL TO PRIVATE VESSEL OWNER ONLY.

Great long range serious offshore vessel when finished.
This is not a plastic pop out drinky, s darling type of a vessel, and it should appeal to a master mariner, commercial mariner, marine engineer, or a experienced metal fabricator. It is definitely not for the white shoe brigade.

Massive aft deck for toys and fishing.

Built new in late 1980, s NEVER LAUNCHED.
Rick James [ NAVAL ARCHITECT] designed hull. [ need we say more]
Vessel is being sold with a 365 HP K19 Cummins with less than 1 hours running since new.
The engine is connected to a 4.5 to 1 reduction TWIN DISC reduction gearbox. Nil hours. THE ENGINE AND GEARBOX TODAY ALONE WOULD BE NORTH OF $120,000
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR SOME TIME AND Will NEED NEW SEALS ETC BEFORE RUNNING.
Keel cooling fabricated to hull

There is a combination of fuel and water tanks but as a guide, the fuel would amount to 12,000 litres and the water would also amount to 12000 litres depending on how the tanks were set up.

New stainless steel bulwarks have recently been fitted.
New stainless steel stairs have been fitted to the accommodation area below.

The engine is removed, and a soft spot has been left in the deck to have it re fitted The boat comes with shaft, prop and rudder.

Some outside space maybe available to finish the boat at its current waterside facility, to a stage where it can be launched [ rent will be on a monthly basis]

Remarks
This project will only appeal to a person who has a background in larger offshore motor vessels.
This person will need the skills, the knowledge, the connections, the labour and the ability to manage a project of this nature.

If you don't have the above then this is not for you...
and there are many hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to complete this vessel to an offshore standard.

To fabricate this boat today to this stage, and to this standard would be north of $800,000. So this is a good place to start.
