Off Center Harbor's Remarks

A hard to find New England classic.

Description from Boat's Main Listing

“GHOST” is one of the legendary and very rare Wasque 26 bass boats built by Vineyard Yachts on Martha’s Vineyard. It has a solid fiberglass hull with fiberglassed marine plywood decks and hardtop. The windshield, windshield sides, and hatches are built of mahogany. White hull, light gray decks, dark gray engine box and trim, she is a very handsome boat.

A freshwater cooled GM 350 cu. in. gas engine with Velvet Drive transmission is in excellent condition. The hull is sharp, then turns to rounded bilges amidship, running very flat at the bottom makes for a very special ride with excellent sea keeping abilities. A full keel protects the bronze prop and large rudder. Sea Star hydraulic wheel steering at starboard helm station plus bronze/wood short tiller mounted on rudder post. A perfect amount of “tumblehome” at the transom sides lends to the classic style of this boat.

She has two bunks with fine overhead beams, mahogany-trimmed storage racks for lines and fenders, and a mahogany forward hatch as well as two bronze round portholes below deck.
