Looking to buy

Having "missed the boat" back in 99, and lost 44306 to Jose Caballero, I'm again thinking I'd like to buy a 44. Anybody want to dump one?

Re: Looking to buy








USCG 44' MLB information








Sir,


I appreciate your interest in the 44. I'm currently building a replica of 44319 from Cape Hatteras, NC. LT Greg Carter at CG Headquarters is the resource manager for all the Coast Guard's MLB's and would be the best person to


answer those questions. He can be reached at (202) 267-1584. His email address is GCarter@comdt.uscg.mil


Good luck with your project.

Re: Looking to buy


How much are you willing to pay ?


My 44 was purchased as a business venture with profit as the original motive. But as time


passed the importance of the MLB's history has given me second thoughts with regards


to her future as a mobile home cruising the coastlines. Ideally it should be restored to


original condition by someone with an appreciation for her past.


If someone was willing to pay me the princely sum of US$65000 and promise a good home.... if no takers,come winter, work will start on the conversion.


Ex-CCG Bamfield


Original condition,except for removal of wheelhouse roof and mast for highway travel.


Engines: Cat 3208s 2000 hours since new


Trans: Twin Disc 509 " " " "


Hull: Corten in fair shape. Small amount of rust on sheer piping and well deck, easily


repaired


Electronics: minimal


Documented maintenance and all manuals


She is lying in heated dry storage at Golden, British Columbia.

Have you checked the bone yards on the Washington coast? They have some that have been decomishoned. I'm almost positive they sell them, other wise they just take up space at the yard. The website is: http://www.portofilwaco.com/boat_yard.html GO USCG!

Re: Re: Looking to buy


44306 is currently in service in PR. I have added equipment to the boat and is currently appraised at $115,000. I am planning to haulout and paint again before summer ends.


Interested parties in buying may send offers and request pictures at


jochi@isppr.net or call 787.370.0030.
