This is a yacht you have to see to appreciate. What a rare piece of history that has been redone with the upmost craftsmanship and top of the line materials. She is definitely one of a kind. This is a yacht for a buyer who wants one unlike the rest.
She is a true piece of American history. She was part of the flotilla in the Normandy invasion in WWII, (known as an 83 footer by the Coast Guard), starred in a John Wayne movie "High and the Mighty." She was the first of the two white Coast Guard Cutters leaving the dock when they were off to rescue a plane.
She is a work in progress, but much has been done. The owners have been rebuilding her from start to finish for several years. This boat has great bones, no leaks, and has been coated with fiberglass on the hull.
A few things she has and has had completed:
-Model Cummins 855 - Marinized NH250 1800 ft pounds of torque!
-Newer engine room floor and wall
-Walls up to windows and ceilings redone and as well as in the upper cabin

1957 Wheeler Promenade Aft Cockpit
Camelot is a classic motor yacht designed by Howard Wheeler and built in 1957 by the Wheeler Yacht Company of Brooklyn, New York. She has been hauled every year since 2008 for bottom paint and minor repair at Pensacola Ship Yard. Records are available. . From 2008-2015 she has undergone a complete interior and deck remodel. New bamboo floors, new ceilings, cabinets, windows, and galley. The owner lives aboard and insures all systems are in working order. This two stateroom layout has made room for an on-board workshop and walk-in closet (hers). Both staterooms have Queen beds, closets, 32 flat screen TVs, full drawer dressers and accompanying heads. The galley is up and has new SS cook top, SS oven, full size SS sink, microwave, and SS 13cf refrigerator/freezer. The upper salon features fully sealed Teak floors, full enclosure, washer and dryer, 32 TV and wet bar. The upper helm and deck provide yet another spacious area. She is a perfect live aboard or charter yacht. The original Detroit Diesel 671s are in unbelievably good condition and consume only one gallon a mile at 7 kts (1200 rpm). Oil has been changed every year. The SS fuel tanks hold an impressive 1200 gallons. Camelot has a new Pettit paint job above the waterline.
The boat is made of mahogany. It has new beadboard ceilings throughout, also new bamboo floors. 2 refurbished 671 blowers, fuel and water pumps. Engines/hull inspected by ATW Marine and are solid. New bilge pumps, new auto pilot hydraulics, extensive bulkhead and woodwork repair throughout. Comes with two RHIB tender boats, 1 new 1 old. All external lights converted to LED. Several interior as well. New upholstery in salon. Recent survey available.
"Camelot" is a true piece of history. Wheeler boats are famous for:Ernest Hemingway's 1934 Wheeler Playmate 34' - "Pilar"SS Minnow (Gilligan's Island) 1964 Wheeler Playmate, 38 foot Express Bridge
1946 Wheeler Sunlounge
This beautiful wooden cruiser was built in Whitestone, New York. The Wheeler Sunlounge model was the post WWII Cadillac of yachts. Built to military specifications, but with all the amenities of its time! She has 9" oak frames on center with 1/4" cedar with 3/4 mahogany planksover top. This is a very solid East Coast boat built for rough seas, with a roomy aft cockpit and beautiful teak decks.Fiberglass fly bridge and forward decks with new awl grip non-skid. Fresh varnish on mostof the exterior Mahogany (some areas still need to be completed). New custom swim step withladder built and installed this summer and all new stainless guards. Powered by good running twin Chrysler 318 engines, new alternators, 12v starters, rebuilt carbs, topend rebuild STBD engine, 32V DC power with two new battery banks (2016). The new Outback 32V charger is installed and hooked up (the inverter still needs to be wired into the system). Propane cook-top with custom counter and tile back splash. Updated flooring in the galley and vee-berth, fresh interior paint throughout! Lots of time and money has been spent restoring this timeless classic. A little more work and this could be a real one of a kind show boat! The Wheeler is a great family with plenty of room for guests, but small and maneuverable enough it can still be handled by one or two people. The current owner is a shipwright and has hauled her out 3 times in the last 2 years. Most recently it was hauled out, painted and new zincs were put on in September of 2016. For those literature buffs, Ernest Hemingway's boat Pilar was also a Wheeler. Several of Hemingway's books were influenced by time he spent on his Wheeler, most notably, "The Old Man and the Sea" and "Islands in the Stream".
