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

http://www.etagloh.phanfare.com/5356432This 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.”
