NO WATER TRIAL. Being sold AS IS WHERE IS.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE No batteries aboard.
The seller makes no claims as to what works and what doesn't.
According to the seller, the engine room had some rainwater intrusion and the engine may have suffered damage as now she will turn over but not run. She is in definite need of a mechanical evaluation to see if this can be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced. It's a Perkins diesel, so likely she is repairable. This engine came with the boat when the sellers purchased her and had been reliable all those years.
There are no batteries aboard but would normally take 4 marine batteries.
She needs some TLC to bring her back to her glory.
Please know this is somewhat of a project boat, no water trials or engine survey (engine won't start), this is being sold as is where is.
The place where you see the white tape is where there is some rotten wood that needs addressing.
I visited this boat and walked the entire boat, there are no soft spots on the deck. I found it easy to see her beauty even though she needs some work, this was once a gorgeous boat and can be again.
When the sellers rehabbed the boat, one of the things they did was to replace the old deck with marine plywood and epoxy the deck. It's very solid but could use a paint job.
I noted some wood rot in a few places and photographed all I could see. The boxes under the chairs have some wood rot inside and need addressing.

We are offering this rare 1973 32' Downeast yacht with a well-deserved reputation and enthusiastic following.
The cockpit engine box doubles as a working surface. And it is VERY heavy.
The raised double helm seats give good visibility from behind a distinctive wood-framed windscreen.
She was designed and built to the work the water off of Martha's Vineyard.

This is the perfect boat for a couple who is looking for a classic displacement pocket cruiser.
Electronics include a Danforth Constellation compass and Standard Horizon Intrepid VHF. There is a Furuno radar on the hardtop, but no controls for it unknown if it works.
This boat was purchased in 2004 by the current owners who performed a total rehab on her including a new hardtop and she was beautiful. They spent $125,000 on her back then.
They do admit she has been neglected a bit, but with a little love and elbow grease, she can easily be brought back to her glory again!
There are 2 fuel tanks totaling 55 gallons and are both aluminum.
This vessel is Coast Guard documented.
The antique horn is not included with the sale of the boat.
