This is one amazing classic boat. An absolutely fabulous hull - a great design put out by Penn Yan. It will cut thru 6' waves at the moderate speed all day with no effort. We are using it for skiing since it plops out of the water quickly and moves fast to 35 - 40 mph speeds. The Manatee friendly hull draws 14"-16" of water, it will beach where no other inboards would dare to go, build for 13 people and a really large dog. Penn Yan’s were not cheap to buy new because manufacturer put some serious material in them. Weight 3600 lbs. It has beautiful classic boat lines, it looks elegant but it will work hard if used for serious fishing. It is very stable open and roomy.The shallow shaft angle, allows the engine to sit low in the bilge, thereby giving it a superior balance characteristics. Chevy 350 small block, has new plugs, battery, pertronix ignitor II, bilge pump, brand new propeller shaft and the bushings, runs quietly and will develop high rpm, no strange vibrations. The velvet drive is smooth and runs cool. Manual included. Overall mechanical condition of the boat is exceptional. Teak deck is sturdy and it does not twist or wobble during the climbing in. In contrary to some tunnel drive critics in respect to the fuel economy, my experience is actually quite positive. If you would bring this boat just off the wake it will hit the sweet spot and glide economically. The bottom paint may need some attention if the boat is to be left in the water for longer periods of time than couple of days, as we are using it for. The boat was never in the salt water and it was always stored properly during the winter. Canvas for the back and new windows are included and are currently being fitted with all new zippers. Hydraulic trim tabs/pump are included but not installed on the boat, fixed tabs are installed and they work great. The boat will plane within seconds from idle, without finking with the switches. Trailer coms with two additional spare wheels/tires in near new condition. Trailer had a new hitch and hydraulics replaced last year. Boat comes with 3 pairs of skis, hot dog tube for 3 people, wests, ropes etc. One solid classic boat, thank you for interest.
