Off Center Harbor's Remarks

Sparkman and Stephens at their best: sweet lines, great versatility, a substantial vessel yet not over the top. This beautiful “sportsman” will draw praise from knowledgeable skippers in every harbor she enters.

Description from Boat's Main Listing

(Was $97,000)
1960 43′ Custom built Sparkman and Stephens Downeast Sportsman, built by Knutson in Huntington, NY. One of a kind, well cared for Sportfish cruiser, in very good condition. Twin Cummins 6BTA 315hp, with low hours, generator with 30hrs, radar, gps, stereo, auto pilot, propane stove, refrigerator, vacuflush head, hot water heater and much more. Very efficient cruise at 17knts, 1800rpm. Turns heads everywhere she goes. If you love classic wood boats this is your chance to own a piece of history.

Own something unique and irreplacable. They could never build them like this again and if they tried to replicate this hand quality custom yacht it would cost many millions of dollars.

Seller looking for good home to custodian to this piece of history. Will consider trades, boats, classic cars etc.
