The wood hatches covering the floor expose the engine room and lots of storage space. Her galley has a stainless steel fridge / freezer that looks to have been added by one of her previous owners.
The current owner is a mechanic and maintains the Lehman engine. The direct drive transmission is currently out of the boat and being professionally serviced, see pictures.
There is ornately carved wood railing surrounding the aft deck. There are two windlasses, one manual and one electric. Both are reported by the owner to work as expected.
She needs some work, so is a bit of a project boat.
