I like it. Either Junk or Marconi. The only
problem is the aft cabin is a crawl space with
the steering gear in the way.

I considered buying one years ago. They are
slow, but steel is real and certainly a comfort
when sailing in exotic places. The shoal draft
is nice. Having a prop next to the rudder is
nice also. The engine seems a bit on the small
side for the weight of the boat. 50 HP seems
like a more logical size. I wonder what it
motors at?

I think you could have a lot of fun with the boat.
I would have cut out the bad plate and replated
it properly.

your old slip neighbour's boat, IIRC.


That's a cool boat, except for the junk rig.
