Cryin Shame

[Deep C]

Time has a habit of getting away on me... Dawned on me I havn't touched Deep C since before I left for the Islands. Five or six months of no love... Climbed on her yesterday to see doves had built nests around the helm and above my ditch bag. A thick layer of dust , dull chrome, dry aluminum and stained stainless were there to greet me. She needs love... She needs a home...

1991 Albemarle 275 express...
T/ 6.2L Peninsular diesel (500hrs new long block port, 950 SMOH starboard)
Full Tower
Lee spreader riggers
VHF, Furuno DF, Furuno GPS

Small chair w/ rodholders
12 rod holders in cabin...

Plain Jane would make a great charter rig...
Hasn't run in over a year. I suggest cleaning the tanks, new filters, new fluids, seals all around...

Two ways to go with it... I have $60 wrapped up in her$30k as is or $35k turn key.

I sold this exact boat to a Navy Pilot in VA Beach, a few years ago. This boat ran great with the Peninsular diesels, and didn't burn much fuel. Great boat, you should have no problem selling her!!! Good luck.

Its like saying goodbye to an old friend isnt it deep.....good luck with the sale but your gonna miss her when she is gone.

Its like selling a kidney... She's part of me but to have her sit is more of a sin... I hung my head in shame looking around the dust and crap yesterday...
She gave me great service and would hope someone else could get some enjoyment out of her. For me she was an ideal blend. Burn little fuel, run it as a one man show, raises fish. Most important though was she was easy to work on. I had never heard of that brand engine going in but came to find that most any parts I needed were available at most auto parts places. Common GM stuff... Not pricey brand specific jewelry.

I've got her priced to flush quick before I change my mind... Doesn't need much to get her right. I just don't have the time with three other boats to keep showroom condition.

shit. I was really wanting something 30 foot + but at that price.....let me see if i can get a buyer for mine.

Good luck with the sale. It would be a perfect boat for someone looking to get into the sailfish action this winter in Palm Beach at a great price.

What I would do if I had the time:

Change out the hynautic steering seals
Change primary and secondary fuel filters: I have the stuff
Oil Change: I have the stuff
Open up top of fuel pump prime with fresh fuel+ conditioner
Take out old unused wires and defunct "systems"
Fresh batteries: I got them too
Minimal glass work at back of engine boxes... New hinges
Maye a fresh coat of paint on deck...
Good solid cosmetic clean up...

Like I said above its not money she needs its just some time...

The "As is " option is gonna be very short lived... Couple hungry guys around the dock that could use the work will be called into play soon...
