My Harbor Pilot has sold and has gone to a beautiful Minnesota lake.

Actually the boat and trailer are only $8000.  The other goodies push it up to $9000. 

But I hope I'm able to see it go to a good home fairly quickly.  I really love the little boat.

An unexpected family situation forces me to put the Harbor Pilot I purchased in October up for sale.  It's not as nice as the $8000 one we've been looking at photos of but it comes with a trailer and other goodies.

For Sale - 1974 Herreshoff Harbor Pilot - located in Hartsville, SC

Photos: http://www.etagloh.phanfare.com/5356432

This an 18 foot fiberglass motor vessel with a Westerbeke diesel and a small cabin.  The boat is based on the Halsey Herreshoff “America" hull from which  at least 6 different boats were built  - the "America" Catboat, the "Eagle" sloop, the cat ketch "Scout", the "Launch", the "Bay Fisherman" and the small tug/pilot boat "Harbor Pilot"

Length is18.2 ft , Beam 8 ft , Draft 1' 10'' , Weight 2200 lbs

The boat has a 1974 Westerbeke  25 Hp,  4 cyl., fresh water cooled diesel with approximately 1700 hrs.  It has a 2:1 reduction and an 18 gal. steel fuel tank.   

It does 8 knots cruise and 12 knots max. and burns 0.5 g/p/h at cruise.

The boat, which has  a full keel for stability and prop/rudder protection for shallow water cruising, is also well suited for offshore cruising and/or fishing. It comes with a bimini top for comfort in either situation.

Constructed by skilled craftsmen at the renowned Nowak & Williams yard in Bristol, Rhode Island, it has a mast and boom, stabilizing sail, bronze hardware and a wooden “swim platform.”  There is also an auxiliary motor mount and lift installed on the transom.

The boat was last in the water in the fall of 2011 when it was removed for the season and winterized.

The boat comes with a single axle trailer with new forward, center and rear keel rollers, new tires, new wheel bearings and seals, new lights and wiring, a new jackstand, and a new Warn 3700 electric winch with wireless remote.

The boat was recently towed from Connecticut to South Carolina without difficulty.  The driver said it “towed like a dream.”

Boat and trailer - $8000
Six HP rebuilt two stroke, long shaft, Johnson/Evenrude outboard auxiliary motor on “roller stand” - $500
Engine spares:
   4 New Glow plugs - $50
   New Lift pump - $50
   Rebuilt fuel injector pump - $500
   New 6 gang electric rocker panel and 3 new Westerbeke gauges - $150
   Used sea water pump with 3 new impellers - - $100
Entire package - $9000

I guess that one has already sold since it's no longer listed at Yachy World.

I was wondering if Pilot owners on this forum with Westerbeke motors in their boats are using heavy duty/extended life anti-freeze in their engines. If so what brand.

Joe,
  After watching the Diva restoration video I got to wondering if the owner of the sailboat coated the brass fittings with something after restoring them to such brilliance.  What did you do on your Pilot?

The Academy had listed a dollar figure beside the description of each boat up for auction but I'm not sure if they were value indicators or related to minimum bids.  Anyway, Sky King's number was $14,000.  I didn't bid on her because there was no trailer with the boat.  So I have no idea what she went for.

Luckily I stumbled across my Pilot which was a great deal less.

I agree on the clean-up you mentioned,  The boat looks a lot better than the previous pictures I had seen.

I think that Pilot was just sold (without a trailer) at the Massachusetts Maritime Institute auction.  I looked into trying to buy it last year but it had already been donated to the Institute.  Must be a re-sell.  Looks pretty good.

With 20 states listed you have to wonder when the list was started and how long it took to sell at least 20 Harbor Pilots. :)

Thanks Joe.  I enjoyed the read and look forward to duplicating the slow cruising pleasure the Jones have experienced.

No luck for me.  You need some kind of Google Documents account to have access to the article.  Oh well....
