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.

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?
