· This is a rare opportunity to own a traditional Dutch Canal boat that you don't have to spend a fortune to import!!
· This beautiful Sea Fury 800 was purchased by a long time friend of mine who used it for 4 summers in the Hamptons. The rest of its life has been spent shrink-wrapped on its trailer. It is in truly fantastic condition! The only items that need attention are a good wax and some teak oil on the wood, which we are willing to handle once purchased, or use your own pro.
T This hull qualifies for a complete exemption from the Jones Act. I have the forms required to qualify for a 12 passenger, commercially operated tour business, that will be granted upon submission. This means you can have a captain, a steward, and 12 paying passengers on board. This is the real deal and there is only one in the entire country.
The Vetus 190hp motor, properly maintained, should achieve 8000 hours before a major overhaul, that is literally 80 years of active boating without concern for re-powering. This is a full inboard, straight shaft, with nothing but shaft and prop in the water. The hull is simply said, Superb. The Dutch are incredible engineers and this is a fantastic example of what they build. This is the type of vessel that you can use for a lifetime and still hand down to your children.
