Description
FOR SALE IS OUR 1977 JERSEY DAWN 40FT SPORTFISH .
THE JERSEY 40 SPORT FISHERMAN IS A TIME AND TESTED CLASSIC EAST COAST BOAT WITH A LOW DEADRIS, SWEEPING SHEARLINE AND FLARED BOW WITH LONG FOREDECK AND LARGE AFT COCKPI, SHE IS A BEAMY (WIDE) BOAT WHICH ENSURES A STABLE RIDE AND SHE HAS PLENTY OF AFT COCKPIT SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE FISHERMAN .LIKE ALL JERSEY BOATS SHE HAS A SLEEK PROFILE AND HER APPEARANCE IS NOT BAD TO LOOK AT EITHER LOL !
THIS BOAT IS ONE OF THE ROOMIEST 40FT SPORT FISH BOATS I HAVE BEEN ON DOWN BELO, IT REALLY SHOWS WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE JUST HOW SPACIOUS IT IS
"NO PROBLEM " WAS LIENED FOR NON PAYMENT OF STORAG, SHE IS CURRENTLY STORED ON LAND IN A MARINA IN EDGEWATER MARYLAND .
I WILL GIVE YOU THE HISTORY OF THE BOAT AS I KNOW IT .
THE PREVIOUS BOAT OWNER USED THE BOAT AS A WEEKEND CONDO AS HE WAS FROM OUT OF STATE . .
HE GOT INTO FINANCIAL TROUBLE AND WAS UNABLE TO PAY THE STORAGE AND OTHER EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOAT AND AT THAT POINT THE BOAT WAS LIENED AND THEN AUCTIONED OFF AND WE PURCHASED IT .I DID MEET THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND GAVE HIM HIS PERSONAL BELONGINGS BACK A FEW WEEKS LATER THAT WERE LEFT ON THE BOAT AFTER THE AUCTION WAS CONCLUDED . HE WAS NOT UPSET WITH ME PERSONALLY AND TOLD ME A LITTLE HISTORY BEHIND THE BOAT AND ABOUT THE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT .
AFTER CHATTING WITH HIM WE REALIZED PEOPLE HAD BEEN STEALING THINGS OFF THE BOAT IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THAT IS WAS AT THE MARINA AS HE HAD BEEN UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO THE BOA, I OFFERED TO SELL THE BOAT BACK TO HIM FOR WHAT I HAD INVESTED IN IT AT THAT POINT BUT HE SAID HE WAS UNABLE TO BUY IT BACK BUT THANKED ME FOR GIVING HIM ALL HIS THINGS BACK AS HE WAS WELL AWARE I WAS NOT OBLIGED TO DO SO . I DO BELIEVE IN KARMA .
MONEY HAD BEEN SPENT ON THE BOAT IN THE LAST FEW YEAR, IT HAS HAD ALL THE GAS TANKS REPLACED WITH NEW STAINLESS STEEL TANKS AND ALL THE FUEL LINES ARE STAINLESS AS WELL .
CURRENTLY THE ENGINES HAVE BEEN REMOVE, WE HAVE PURCHASED 2 X 454 FRESH WATER COOLED CHEVROLET RUNNING TAKE OUTS TO PUT IN THE BOAT ALONG WITH A 6KW ONAN GENERATOR . WE HAVE NOT INSTALLED THEM YET AS SOME PEOPLE MAY PREFER JUST TO LEAVE THE ENGINES OUT AND USE IT IS A LIVEABOARD .
WE HAVE PRICED THE BOAT WITH THE REPLACEMENT ENGINES AND GENERATO, THE MARINA WHERE SHE IS CURRENTLY STORED ON LAND IS ABLE TO ASSIST IN SETTING THE NEW ENGINES IN PLACE .
LAND STORAGE IS APPROX $260 PER MONTH .
YOU CAN WORK ON YOUR OWN BOAT IN THE MARINA AND THEY DO ACCEPT LIVEABOARDS ALTHOUGH YOU WILL NEED TO PUT HER BACK IN THE WATER IN YOU WANT TO LIVE ABOARD .
I HAVE FOUND VERY FEW JERSEY 40'S FOR SALE AND IF YOU LOOK AT BOAT TRADER OR YACHTWORLD I ONLY FOUND 3 OF A SIMILAR VINTAGE WITH THE SAME LAYOUT AND DESIGN ALL 3 ARE IN THE MID $50,000 AND UP RANGE .
OUR BOAT DOES NEED SOME WORK AND I WILL TRY TO LIST BELOW WHAT I KNOW .
THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IS OBVIOUSLY THE INSTALLATION OF THE ENGINE, THE REAR COCKPIT FLOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, WHEN THE NEW STAINLESS STEEL TANKS WERE INSTALLED THE DID NOT USE MARINE GRADE PLY AND THE PUT A LAYER OF FIBERGLASS OVER REGULAR PLY ABOVE THE TANK, THIS IS ROTTING OUT . I HAVE A PRICE OF $2900 TO HAVE IT PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRE, THAT WOULD BE REMOVING THE REAR FLOO, PUTTING NEW KOOSA BOARD AND THEN PUTTING A LAYER OF FIBERGLASS ON TOP .
THE INTERIOR DOES NEED A GOOD CLEA, AND I THREW AWAY SOME OF THE CARPETS AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD A DOG AND THERE WAS DOG HAIR ON IT SO I FELT IT WOULD BE EASIER TO JUST REPLACE IT .
THERE ARE ELECTRONICS ON THE BOAT LIKE RADA, VH, STEREO ETC BUT I HAVE NOT TESTED ANY OF THE, THERE IS ALSO A HARD TOP AND IT APPEARS THERE IS MORE CANVAS AND EISENGLASS AND THE OUTRIGGERS ARE ALSO ON THE BOAT AS WELL
WE HAVE PRICED HER TO SEL, OUR FEELING IS ALTHOUGH WE OBVIOUSLY DO WANT TO SELL BUT I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE A LOW BALL STUPID OFFERS SORRY .
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING PLEASE MAKE CONTACT WITH US AS IT SEEMS THAT MOST OFFERS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN NO CONTACT THE SUPPOSED BUYERS USUALLY DONT FOLLOW THROUGH AND ACTUALLY PAY .
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL OR CALL WITH ANY QUESTION, IF WE DONT ANSWER I WILL CALL BACK
