Buyer beware. I looked at this boat before. It has a hell of a lot of leaks and interior wood rot to deal with. The interior needs a complete gut and redo. Where the various fiberglass molded parts are put together, they used a compressible rubber-like gasket. All most all of this boat's gasketed parts are leaking along with windows and portlights. It would require disassembling some of the cabin to reseal properly the molded parts properly. I would just epoxy everything back together and fair everything out. At the current price of $7100, it would be a good DIY project if the electronics, fuel system and engine are in good condition. Other wise, I wouldn't buy it.

The white rails upstage and obliterate the lines of the boat. I'm sure it is fine from the inside, looking out. It is disturbingly painful to look at from the outside. It might be an attractive vessel with careful application of colors.

I agree Mr. B,
Railings should be black or some other dark color.

Buy the boat and you can paint them any color you want.

Why not stainless steel and never have to paint again.

Ah, Peto Pink. LOL

I do like the lines of the boat.... I'm not sure the design would allow for all the creature comforts to which I have grown accustomed.

For 71K..... nope.

Dan,
You can paint them what you like but what parts of your boat that are very light or bright colors like bright frog green or white will become the epicenter of your boat visually. What do you want people to notice? The hand rails, the anchor or something much more shapely like the hull or transom?

The problem w the boat in post 01 is that it’s a clutter boat .... and mostly so because of it’s paint job.
Most boats are white and most have SS railings .. as it should be both for practical reasons and because the utilitarian nature of them but they don’t visually stand out on a white boat. My railings are very small dia being life lines. They are white but w their very small dia don’t show up terribly bad. May be better if they were dark green like a lot of the trim but green lifelines would draw much notice by being weird.

If as some have said, the boat looks cluttered. IMO it is because the white railings detract from the boats natural lines.

Interesting points. Here's a comparison of the rails in three colors. First photo is as is white. 2nd is gray, third is an autumn orange closer to the color of the wood. I love the boat, but it is a cluttered mess.

And with the color change, the railing are disappearing.

What is Autumn orange? Will I find at a boating store? LOL

SS railings - everywhere! And... very little to no exterior wood!

Here's the same boat de-flybridged and cleaned of clutter. I lifted the sagging canvas a bit and lightened the rails on the boat deck. Vessels with long lines like this one look better when those accents are kept clean. She could be a real beauty.

If you have white coated lifelines, consider (when the time comes) replacing them with dyneema line. Gray in color so less obtrusive, and not being coated SS, they won’t have hidden rust issues.

The boat would look 100% better without that fly-bridge and Bimini.

Of course, I still like the look of it as is. If I had unlimited funds, it would be a great boat to own. Otherwise, I’m happy to admire and critique it from a safe distance. ;-)

That is only because no one notices your SS railings through the glare off the bright yellow PH roof. ;-)

Really wonder if the sail does anything other than steadying. Also wonder if there is ballast. Kind of looks like a Great Harbour N37 with a mast. There must be something dreadfully wrong with a 2014 47' steel boat for $65K and power by a JD 4045 to boot. Might be worth a flyer for cheap lodging in Costa Rica.

What tha hell? Yeah that seems too cheap. Not super fancy, but pretty damn cool IMO. She probably rolls pretty much just looking and WAG, so that steady sail is a big plus. However, it’s just a jib so it might not do all that much. My jib does help slow the roll if the waves are not too bad, but if big and directly on the beam the main needs to be unfurled as well, and I need at least 10-15 knots of wind.

Sure like that JD engine!

seems like its super cheap because of personal problems rather than boat problems.. Its an interesting boat for sure. I would want to know who designed it. It may be in the listing but I only skimmed it.
