1963 Owens 36 Express For Sale

This 1963 Owens 36 harkens back to a simpler time and is sure to stir those nostalgic feelings in its new owner.

The spacious aft-desk has plenty of room for passengers to "ride along" with the captain while underway and is partially covered by the original fiberglass hardtop. There is plenty of room to put some period correct patio furniture up here to round out the look of this wooden classic.

Below deck you'll find things just as well kept as topside, even the classic hound's-tooth interior upholstery is in great shape.

As you descend the stairs to your left you'll see the small galley that is perfect of making snacks for an afternoon voyage and the mini fridge is there to keep your beverages cold.

The head is to your immediate right and once past it you'll see the dinette on the starboard side and a nice sitting bench on the port side.

The v-berth has plenty of room for two passengers to overnight on this time capsule classic.

The engine room below the aft deck is very clean and well kept. There is plenty of room to move and all systems seem to be in working order. The twin motors have Jasper rebuilt blocks but would appear to have the original Owens Flagship top ends with matching serial numbers.

Walking around the exterior of the boat it is readily apparent a good deal of care and upkeep have been done on the boat through out it's life. The paint is in really good shape and seems to indicate the boat could be on the water with just minimal effort.

All deck surfaces and fiberglass seem to be in good condition with no noticeable / major flaking of the varnish and clear coat. The bright work does show some pitting in places but a little polish and clean-up would have it shining again and a perfect compliment to the "original" condition of the rest of the boat.

There are a wealth of fit and finish pieces that come with the boat that will be up to the new owner in terms of installation based on how they want to finish out the boat.

The mechanical systems of the boat all seem to be clean and properly maintained but could not be tested during the photo shoot due to the vessel being in storage.

The new owner will likely want to have a mechanic go through things before splashing the boat but it would be surprising if anything beyond possibly fluid changes were needed before getting this 1963 Owens 36 footer in the water.
