I bought this boat in Sept, and have been slowly over hauling it. it was sitting at the free anchorage by the Santa Cruz wharf when I first saw it. she was a racing boat with the interior gutted for "speed" I suppose, but came with a fantastic mast just for racing. In her past life she belonged to a man that love to shed his worries with the sport of being the first across the line. The boats new life is of a different sort of pleasure, the pursuit of distant shores. she is a fast boat which means she sits high in the water, with a draft of five and a half feet that's mostly keel. With the external rudder its not easy to use an outboard nor is the fact that the stern sits high out of the water. It had a Volvo Penta that's been removed and transmission is still there, so am thinking that I will convert to electric just for marina maneuvering. I am installing a water maker, water heater, head to holding tank to pump out/flush out (in that order).
the name as you can see from the first and second picture was "SHOW DOWN" she is now known as "LITORALIS" which is Latin for "Beach Bum"
I am open to sugestions and information as I want to install a gen-set and run it all on propane.
