That one is a real find. Fit and finish is stunning. That Universal diesel is pre-Westerbeake buyout of Universal (1990), so parts are cheaper and readily available at any auto parts store. Universal got the blocks from Kubota and fit them out with aftermarket components from auto industry. That one really is tempting to make a call on ... I just wish it was the 34 for a bit more beam and overall space.
The 34 is really an ideal size. This was bigger than I was expecting for 28 feet, but I get your point. As always, thanks for your feedback and support!
A nice boat for one lucky guy or gal. Wind vane self steering with spray dodger. Ideal for a couple for gentle coastal cruising. Prefer these smaller yachts as you can brace yourself whereas modern Dufours are harbour boats.
I am guessing you have no idea what parts for a boat cost. Bronze portlights. New lewmar winches. New stainless steel lifelines. New blocks, cleats, padeyes, etc. Trust me somebody paid a lot of money just for the replacement parts. Add in the labor and you see this ids a steal
Dumping black water in the ocean is unacceptable these days, even if it is legal. She needs a pump out connection as well as the instruments mentioned by @vincentmiceli2554. Beautifully done, though.
You make an excellent point. We need to protect our oceans. She does have a pump out connection, so that is good. She also has a slew of instruments. An old salt once told me if you need a device (anemometer) to tell you the wind speed, you have no business being out at sea... I don't have one on my boat. BUT, there is one on the Sea Sprite. :) Thanks for watching!
