Brand New Engine Room!

Never too soon to start advertising… Advance notice – this boat will soon be back on the market. We have removed everything from the engine room, cleared out old wiring, pipes & hoses, scoured the bilges, are in the process of upgrading engine and generator.

Last year, we advertised the boat as “needing upgrades” but in spite of the fantastically low price, this deterred interested buyers. Buyers want to hop aboard and go – not spend a season in the shipyard chasing down parts/labor/engineers. So, here we go.

Soon we will provide precise details and photos. If you wish to keep updated on developments, hit the “follow” button.

Follow that dream!

DAGNY is undergoing some upgrades.

In August we got a buyer who was keen to take DAGNY over in September.  He placed a reasonable binder and arranged for us to haul her out up the Saint Johns River in north Florida.  For this, we had to remove her masts.  Unfortunately, the buyer’s circumstances changed and he  defaulted.  So DAGNY is for sale again.

However, since we have her on ‘the hard’ so near home, we are taking the opportunity to replace the main engine.  We have already taken out the old Detroit Diesel.  Soon as we are finished, we will be advertising her again.  For now, that’s the story!
