28' Pearson Triton Sloop Rigged Sailboat 1965
Solid fiberglass hull, in good overall condition, original gelcoat. Deck and cockpit are solid fiberglass, and well made. No coring on the boat anywhere. Very solid.
Bottom paint remaining in photo needs removal. Most loose paint was blasted off with pressure washing.
Mast and boom in good condition.
New Tiller. Rudder in good condition
Forward hatch needs some work.
Engine is a Universal Atomic 4 gas engine, last run a few years ago, winter stored by owners or boat yard. I was told running fine, but transmission may need servicing.
Set of cushions appear fairly recent and in good condition, good quality foam.
Sails include a new mainsail and 4 others. Sails stored inside, not on boat.
The boat has been scrubbed clean inside including bilges and under the decks.
The exterior has been pressured washed and now stored in owners private boathouse.
The boat is fully intact, but does not include any equipment such as anchor etc.
There is a matching pair of speed and depth instruments on a salvage boat nearby if wanted.
Possible spare Atomic 4 for very reasonable price.
