    "This is a registered boat and it used to be a ketch and I gutted it and did major repairs to the bottom, keel, stem, and cockpit. It's basically gutted including the engine. I've set it up for an outboard on a sliding bracket to the stb. aft end. No Time to finish it but it would make a really good liveaboard since it is a hard chine, there is lots of space inside. I put in a double wide cross hull birth where the engine and fuel tanks used to be. Right above that is a removeable sealed hatch for lowering large objects inside. 
    I would like to get a couple grand for it, But I'll consider all offers. It has a 130 foot anchor rode that is 2 inch braided nylon followed by 50 feet of 3/8 in chain, then a swivel and them 20 feet of 1in. chain with a monster swivel. There is a swivel at the boweye on the boat making a total of 3 swivels. The second is just past the huge hard plastic yellow ball. So if you wanted to move it from it's present location which is in the Sooke Basin, you could send a diver down to disconnect the anchor rode, which is worth quite a bit. I'll take some pictures of the mooring ball and outside hull pictures soon and add them to the website link. "
