⚓ Overview

This vessel is a unique, highly updated classic that blends legendary mid-century American hull construction with modern diesel reliability and a custom superstructure. Built on a rock-solid 1966 Uniflite 36-foot fireproof gelcoat hull—renowned for its heavy-duty, over-built fiberglass structural integrity—the vessel underwent a major transformation in 2009 with a completely new, custom-built deck, cabin, and superstructure crafted in Dorchester County, Maryland.

Powered by a commercial-grade, low-hour John Deere diesel engine, she is configured as a high-utility sport fisherman or rugged coastal cruiser. She represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking for a structurally superior, mechanically turnkey vessel that they can personalize with their own electronics and final interior cosmetic finishes.

⚙️ Machinery & Running Gear

The propulsion package is housed in an exceptionally clean, organized, and dry machinery space.

  • Engine: John Deere Powertech 6.8-Liter, 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 201 continuous horsepower.

  • Engine Hours: 822 original hours.

  • Cooling System: Fresh-water cooled with a robust heat exchanger.

  • Transmission: Smooth-shifting ZF reduction gear.

  • Fuel System: High-grade aluminum diesel tanks in good condition.

  • Running Gear: Heavy-duty stainless steel shafting spinning a high-efficiency 4-bladed fixed bronze propeller with a protective skeg and cast bronze rudder.

 Dual-Station Helm & Controls

Designed for serious utility and flexible operation.  Features two fully functional helm stations:

  1. Main Cabin Helm: Located to starboard, featuring a comprehensive John Deere engine panel (oil pressure, coolant temperature, tachometer, voltmeter, fuel gauge), engine clock, traditional dash compass, and a standard DC electrical panel.

  2. Cockpit Helm: Located at the starboard cockpit station, featuring a twinset throttle/shifter and a specialized trolling valve for precise boat handling while fishing or docking.

  • Steering: Dependable, smooth hydraulic steering system serving both stations.

 Cockpit & Deck Layout

The deck layout emphasizes safety, durability, and open space for fishing or entertaining.

  • Cockpit: A large, wide-open aft cockpit featuring an easily accessible central engine box, highly functional sole hatches, and a protective cockpit canopy.

  • Decks & Superstructure: Sighted fair and true by the marine surveyor. Features rock-solid fiberglass and plywood-cored structural bulkheads, sturdy toe rails, and stainless steel handrails along the cabin top for safe forward transition.

  • Ground Tackle: Equipped with a 22 lb. Danforth-style anchor managed by a heavy-duty Powerwinch windlass.

 Accommodations & Interior Layout

The interior layout provides a solid structural foundation (FRP joinery), waiting for your personal cosmetic choices.

  • Main Salon: Bright layout featuring a comfortable dinette to port and the primary helm station to starboard.

  • Comfort & Conveniences: Includes a private head compartment equipped with a marine toilet, sink, and integrated shower system. Fresh and waste water systems are functional and in satisfactory condition.

  • Interior Finish: The interior requires final finish painting in the cabin area to complete the cosmetic look of the remodel, allowing the new owner to select their own color scheme and materials.

⚡ Electrical & De-Watering Systems

  • DC System: 12V system in satisfactory structural and functional condition.

  • Batteries: Two-battery bank with independent battery selector/distribution panel.

  • Lighting: Complete set of navigation and running lights.

  • Bilge Pumps: Multi-pump de-watering system installed and operational.

Currently stored ashore on jackstands at Slaughter Creek Marina, making hull inspections straightforward for serious buyers.

Mechanically, she features a highly desirable, low-hour John Deere diesel engine. Structurally, she is sound. Because there are currently no electronics installed and the cabin interior requires final finish painting. This is an exceptional "good bones" boat—bring your preferred electronics suite, complete the cabin painting to your taste, and you will own a custom, bulletproof diesel sport fisherman for a fraction of the cost of a new build.
