Beautiful boat. I am particularly impressed with the main cabin overhead treatment. A good piece of inspiration for the headliner replacement we intend to do on our own boat.

Notice the 2nd picture of the 2nd group. This is a light full disp hull ...... very efficient boat. A great demonstration of wood boats outshining plastic boats in efficiency. See that there is no hull below the WL on the transom. I would love to see the wake of this boat from the stern at hull speed.

Now, settle down, Eric. I don't think they are allowed to post those kinds of photos on TF.

Greetings,

Walt I get excited when I see a really nice boat. She's over powered though.

Ha, ha, ha...True to form Eric. I was sitting here just waiting for you to say that. I think it is powered just right. Good economical cruise, but by the looks, capable of a few knots above hull speed if a quick burst to cross a bar, or correct a potential broach..?

Wake

The wake...

I was pulling your chain again! I know exactly what you mean as I consider sitting in my cockpit, underway, looking over the transom, one of the best views in all of boating.

Thank's for the wake pic CI 36. Would be more "telling" in calm water though.
Walt I was beginning to think I was the only one. Ther'e dynamic. Ther'e happening "now" and they have not only action but there's power within and interesting patterns. I'll not hijack the thread.

Cape island hulls are Legendary in the Canadian maritimes and New England. I was told that their were more Cape island hulls in the Saugus river (Massachusetts) than Halifax harbor at one time. I don't know if it was fact or urban legend.

May take a partial trade for a small whaler, lund, grady but nothing over 20'.

The Cape Island is in Houghton Mich 49931 - Anybody familiar or has experience in that area with Marine surveyor(s) located in that area - wood boat specialist? Also would like some information and thoughts form the group about associated cost with over-land transport and reliable transportors for this type vessel? How is this calculated? I am located in Columbia SC 29209. Lastly, any other insight, experiences, or annadotal need to know thoughts are sought and appreciated.
Please PM responses.

Shes a beauty, if she were closer to me ........

Offers?

Going to list with broker soon...

Hi
Is your boat still available

Thanks
Peter

It is. Lots of calls but no lookers yet.

Beautiful and clean

Captain,
Your Cape Island is beautiful and so clean. Someone is going to be a lucky owner. It looks like you kept good care of her.

Walter

Thanks for the comment Walter. The looker last night was especially amazed at how clean the entire bilge is.

After some thought over the winter I'm going to look at relisting 46 North. I found Mid Coast Yacht Brokers............any recommendations? I'm in Michigan.
