Off Center Harbor's Remarks

(Was $59,000) In the fizzy realm of fantasy boat shopping where everything seems possible and the varnishing gets done by somebody else, very little on the market this morning seems to beat this beauty. Long, sleek and precisely beautiful in detail, she whispers “live aboard” to the owner in the right climate with a covered slip. And because many of the pesky problems that might crop up in the near future seem to have been taken care of, at her modest asking price, she might even be manageable over the medium term. So go ahead, gather more pictures, inquire about her fastenings and her deadwood and take her for a spin. Without question you won’t lack for a social life if she happens to fall under your command.

Description from Boat's Main Listing

Built by Lake Washington Shipyard, designed by John Winslow, SEAFARER is 56′ long and went through a complete professional restoration in 2007. She has a Carvel planked Alaskan cedar hull, 2″ x 2″ oak frames on 9″ centers, teak weather decks, canvas covered tongue and groove cabin tops, cabin trunks with varnished plank sides, lovely teak transom. All the stanchions, cleats, and anchor winch are bronze.The extensive restoration included all new wiring and a new 8kw Northern Lights generator. Most recent upgrades include a new propeller shaft, cutless bearing and support bearing, (2010). The hull was re-fastened on the lowest three planks on each side of the keel and hydraulic steering was installed, (2011). The single main engine is a diesel GMC 6-V71 which easily pushes her along at 10kts while sipping 3-4 gal of fuel per hour.

Has a 470-gallon fuel capacity, making fuel dock stops far and few between.

Major refit in 2007, including plank repair, refinished exterior wood, refastening, recaulk, new wiring throughout including electrical panels, new plumbing, hydraulic steering, newer 8kW Northern Lights gen set, updated electronics, new appliances.

The SEAFARER has managed to modernize the on board accouterments and simultaneously maintain the incredible class and charm of the bygone era.

Most every detail has been attended to and the spectacular interior finishes are remarkable.
