Well maintained by her current owner for many years, including many upgrades to the topsides.
Like any old wooden vessel, she needs a fair amount of attention and ongoing maintenance and has had annual work done by one of the best yards in the Low Country.
The genset needs a new electrical end. All other mechanical equipment and electronics appear to be operational other than a loud hailer.
ENGINES: They are American Marine 404D which are marinized Deere 6404D engines, naturally aspirated. Not sure of the HP as there is conflicting data avaialable. Engine hours - 1039 on meter but actual has to be higher
They run like a top - see this video from 5/26/2021
