30' Newport 30

1968 Newport 30 Sailboat - Project Boat with Solid Bones

If youre a handy sailor looking for a rewarding project, this 1968 Newport 30 could be your next adventure. With a wide beam for stability and comfort, shes a roomy classic that can sleep up to 6 people once brought back into full service.

Whats Already Done:

Roller furler installed

All LED lighting (nav lights, stern, and cabin)

New 100 AH Lithium-Ion house battery and brand-new charger

Sails in good shape main and 130% genoa with plenty of life left

Interior recently redone clean and refreshed

What She Needs (and Your Options):

The Atomic 4 inboard engine turns over, with a working starter and alternator, plus a newly installed electric fuel pump. However, we havent been able to get it running, so it will need further troubleshooting, rebuild, or replacement. Luckily, this engine is easy to rebuild with plenty of parts available.

Or, you can replace it with an outboard engine for simplicity.

Or, upgrade to an electric motor with lithium batteries for quiet operation and engine resilience.

Bottom needs scrub and repaint before launch.

This is not a turn-key boat, but with some TLC and vision, youll have a comfortable and reliable 30-footer. A perfect canvas for someone who enjoys bringing classic boats back to life while choosing their own power solution.
