Unique 48 Ft Cabin Cruiser Ready for Serious Cruising

*Comes With Assumable Moorage in Sooke, BC*

Summersong is a one of a kind fiberglass on wooden hulled cabin cruiser planned by the renowned boat designer William Garden. This boat has just completed an EXTENSIVE overhaul to the structure and propulsion systems, as well as the rectification of many safety issues and concerns. This work was completed by qualified shipwrites on Vancouver Island with the intention of delivering us a safe and reliable boat to cruise the Pacific Northwest Coast of British Columbia in the coming years.

Summersong has a generous floorplan for comfortable living and cruising, with a fully functional kitchen and dinning space, v-berth, two heads and a separate salon that can be converted to use as a sleeping quarters. The engine sits 'above ground' under the covered stern making it super easy to access for maintenance. The main helm is located adjacent to the kitchen/dinning area, and access to the flybridge is by ladder from inside the cabin.

General Description (from 2023 Marine Survey): “Summmersong” is a 48’ 1974 William Garden designed sedan command bridge cruiser which has a modified V wood hull with FRP overlay below the waterline and wood beam keel. Powering the vessel is a 165 HP Detroit Diesel Shannon 671 running through a v-drive with 2 control stations. The interior areas are well proportioned with 2 sleeping berths, 2 heads, a galley and dinette. It is a handsome craft which appears to have been built to a high standard and has stood well the test of time.

There is NOT enough space to list the recently completed work. Here are a few highights: *Installation of a new Lowrance 12" HDS charter plotter/fishfinder *Lowrance Halo 34 mile radar *Overhaul and repair of windlass motor, gear, shaft, struts, bearings, rode, chain, and anchor *Overhaul of black water system from pump, hoses and barometric loop, to drain hoses and maintenance/repair of heads *Newer bow and stern thrusters were tested and serviced (ball valves and fittings) *Structural overhaul to the bow to replace compromised deck and beams *All thru-hulls serviced or replaced * Complete re-build of the stuffing box *Complete rebuild of the propshaft, v-drive, strut, bearing *Minor fiberglass touch up's to ensure continued integrity of the hull (which is in excellent condition) *There far are too many other maintenance/repairs to list here.

The 2023 (pre-overhaul) survey and all detailed work invoices are available to serious inquiries. The price may be a bit negociable and is WELL BELOW what has been invested in Summersong's overhaul.
