1982 Island Trader 38 for sale - $5,000 OBO (but I cannot close until I purchase another boat). LOA 42'. THERE IS NO MAIN MAST. Location: Ithaca, NY on Lake Cayuga which is connected by Erie Canal System to Hudson River and Atlantic Ocean, and to Great Lakes. Yanmar 3gm30f diesel engine rebuilt in 2019 with low hours. Gets 6-7 mpg with clean hull. In 2022, I removed the teak from the lower deck and re-cored it with epoxy-coated marine plywood, and then covered the original fiberglass deck with two layers of biaxial fiberglass cloth. I re-cored half of top deck in 2018. NO MAIN MAST, but I have the stays and hardware. I have the original, wooden mizzen mast which is rotten in one area but could be repaired with fiberglass and painted. Two, painted wooden booms. Custom interior with removable Oak table and more room to walk than standard interior, teak ceiling, and red oak wall boards and floor boards. I recently changed both fuel filters, oil filter and oil. Charming, hand-painted folk-art mural on one wall of main cabin. Top of opposite wall is FRP which needs to be redone. Bronze window frames. I replaced all the window glass in 2020. (They are taped-over for privacy.) The countertops are teak with mahogany borders. I installed new flexible PVC tubing for stainless-steel holding tank, but I think there is a crack in the holding tank. Two jibs and mizzen sail are good, main is fair. Old, but functional refrigerator and microwave. Pump toilet replaced in 2023. Portable AC for main cabin. I have large winches for jib sheets to replace original bronze ones, but they are not installed. Rope lazy jacks give historic look to boat. Off-White cockpit cushions. Bronze wheel. When this boat was rigged with the wooden masts and rope lazy jacks, it was the belle of the lake, the most photographed. |
