1998 Tahiti 33 Sailboat For Sale

Very roomy custom made sailboat with lots of head room and beautiful wood through out the cabins.

The hull is 1-1/8 inch mahogany, covered with fiberglass. Made with mahogany brought in from Central America, this is a sturdy boat with very accommodating living quarters.

A lot of heart and soul went into building this Tahiti. With a little work, she will once again be a fine cruising boat for a sailor on a budget.

The seller has owned this TAHITI over 20 years.

The engine is a HUPEI, which is a Chinese copy of the German HARDY. The engine has an electric as well as a "hand crank" start option.

The overall condition of this Tahiti is fair, there is a great deal of work which needs to be done to get her back into the water. Since this boat was photographed the owner has made many upgrades.

A new cutlass bearing was recently installed.

The boat was originally designed as a Ketch, but the owner changed it up to its current configuration. He says it can easily be reverted to a ketch by installing a Mizzen mast.

The boat has been on the hard for a few years, exposed to weather.

The exterior needs refurbishing, but the bones are believed to be incredibly solid.

This boat should be considered a complete restoration project, but could be a showpiece when completed.

Note: for engine parts, the seller reports the following:

The Engine is a Hupeh or Hubei 290 C Marine Diesel 20 hp which is a copy of a Hardy. You can try hardydiesel.com. or Hardy Solar at 15749 Lyons Valley Rd., Jamul,Ca 91935.or kmeyerco@big.net.au.
