If you have ever dreamed of owning a vessel large enough for you and your crew to comfortably live aboard, safe enough to handle unexpected seas, and luxurious enough to make you want to forget about your home on land, but thought you could never afford it...think again. This 78 ft. Coast Guard documented steel vessel was built in the '70s by Toche Industries and enjoyed an adventorous career as a reliable shrimp boat (yes, Bubba Gump-style). During her transformation in recent years, added were a forecastle bow, two steel superstructures, fly bridge, expanded pilothouse, and a deck large enough for a 20-foot “dinghy” with plenty of room left over for sunbathing. The strength of the welded-in Bohamet windows (some of the best in the industry); low hours on the Caterpillar 3412 engine; and two, six thousand gallon diesel tanks will be sure to take you wherever your heart desires. Hydraulic steering pumps and stations are ready for hoses, pressurized lines are ready for Fujitsu heating/cooling units, and the CATV lines throughout are ready for your sound system and smart TVs. Professionally framed, plumped, and Ward Marine-wired, this vessel is prepared for the discerning owner to put the finishing touches on the theater room, home-sized galley, and the three ample staterooms with full ensuite baths. Which color to carpet the floors? Which theater surround sound system to use? Sub-Zero appliances? The choice is yours. A seafaring life is not for everyone, but if your passion lies on the open water, and you have the means to see the makings of a magnificent yacht through the final phase of reconstruction, perhaps this vessel is your destiny. Located just outside of Galveston, Texas. Additional photos can be seen at the website Yacht-in-the-Rough.
