Description Condition: Used Year: 1982 Make: Endeavour
For sale is my 1982 Endeavour 37, b plan interior with tall mast and fully functional bowsprit (forestay at end with two anchors mounted, one danforth, one plow). I have owned the boat for five years. When I first bought her, she hadn't been out of the slip in years and was being lived aboard. The engine ran (it's a replacement, Westerbeke 40), but that was about it. Many other things didn't work. Below is some, but not all of the work I've done:
- I re-plumbed the head/holding tank and added a modern y valve
- serviced the engine and added a racor 500 filter unit
-replaced head/galley countertops with custom Corian and new sink/faucet in galley. Install in galley is 95% complete. Needs to be glued down and seamed together with color matched glue, available online. Color is "granola." Head is complete and I added a custom medicine cabinet.
-Installed brand new propeller.
-Replaced some teak paneling damaged by leaking ports. There are still two pieces that need replaced.
-painted hull sides and deck with Pettit Easypoxy. It's not a $10,000 awlgrip job, but it gets lots of compliments.
-Installed new forestay and Harken ESP furler. Rolls the 140% Genny up easily, even in a blow.
-Installed new running rigging (sheets, furling line, topping lift, halyards.
-Restitched both sails. Replaced leech cover on genny with "toast" sunbrella and fabricated mainsail cover from the same material.
-Fabricated new (massive) bimini frame and top out of high quality 1" stainless tube, sunbrella canvas and rot-proof thread. I used to do canvas for a living, so this is pro-quality work, not some hack job sailrite kit pieced together on a sears machine from 1964.
-ground out and reglassed 13 or so blisters that were present on first haul out. none have appeared since.
-glassed over an un-used thru-hull. the fewer holes in the bottom, the better.
-installed a new depth sounder and transducer
-installed new stereo with two speakers in salon and two in cockpit.
-installed flat screen tv
-replumbed shower drain to a sump box with its own discharge pump.
-installed 85w solar panel on stern rail. not enough to charge huge batteries, but it helps.
-installed grill on stern rail.
-installed new, large bilge pump in central "sea chest" in bilge. Several things like the galley ice box drain into here and get pumped out, but this would also serve as a backup in an emergency.
-installed LED cabin lights to replace 20w antiques that drained the batteries and put off enough heat to warm the boat in winter.
-sanded, cleaned and oiled exterior teak. If you want a hard finish like varnish or cetol, you won't have much prep time.
-recovered salon cushions.
-installed new water system pressure pump.
-installed Garmin 441 gps at helm. Not a giant, fancy touchscreen, but it gets you around and is pretty accurate. I've come into unfamiliar creeks at night and was amazed how accurate it was in terms of my position to marks. It will keep you off the shoals and help you find points of interest.
-much more I can't think of right now.The bad:She still needs work and most people don't want to bother nowadays. Are you handy, motivated and retired or single? If so, with a little elbow grease and a few bucks, you can score a heck of a sweet boat here for peanuts.
- Some interior teak paneling still needs replaced. Headliner is present but yellowed due to previous owner smoking aboard. It should be replaced. I was going to use white v-groove board with the original battens for a classic look.
-The original teak parquet floor was mostly gone, so I installed fake teak (plastic) from lumber liquidators. It actually looks pretty good and is waterproof. Right now it is all pulled up as I'm in the process of pulling both the water and fuel tanks out to clean and paint the bilge. There is 30+ years of funk down there and this is the only way to clean it and eliminate odors, so I'm doing it.
-to look gorgeous inside, a few areas of wood should be sanded and re-varnished. This could be done in a weekend.
-Shrouds, chainplates and backstay are original and should be replaced before venturing offshore. They are serviceable and have been inspected by a rigger and show no signs of damage.
-Over the years, there have been topside leaks from loose stanchions, etc. I rebedded much of the hardware when I bought her, but it could use another going over.
-starboard side gate stanchions are bent from some impact prior to my ownership. The units sold by Garhauer are, as best I can tell, an exact match for about $125 each. Not the end of the world.
-there is no dodger. I was going to fabricate one eventually and probably have enough sunbrella to do so, which will go with the boat.
-sails are useable, but old. Again, if I were heading offshore, I'd buy new sails. Nowadays, a good main and large genny can be produced in southeast Asia pretty inexpensively.
-The boat is devoid of cruising gear. No 12v refrigeration. No radar. No autopilot. No windvane steering. No huge array of solar panels, wind generator or inverter. You get the idea. She's a comfortable bay cruiser ready for weekends aboard.
-I'm sure there's more, there always is with boats.That's all I can think of right now. She's a good boat and a nice liveaboard. She was my home for two and a half years and I was always very comfortable. You can put a chicken or meatloaf in the oven, grab a hot shower, then watch the news on the flat screen while your dinner cooks. Pretty good if you ask me. While I wouldn't head South on her just yet, she is sailable and the engine runs great. Oil and filters were changed last spring. If it's warm enough here before the auction closes, I'll put a fresh coat of high quality bottom paint on. If the auction hits reserve and the bidder pays, I'll throw in the dinghy I used with no outboard. It's a watertender from West Marine. Quite tipsy, but it won't ever pop or leak air. I will also be leaving lots of spare parts, paints, lubes, tubes and an ice maker onboard, as I won't have any use for any of it. I was prepping this boat to sail off to Margaritaville when I met my amazing wife. We now have a perfect six month old son, and while I wouldn't change a thing, this massive boat and her list of work needed just don't fit into my life any more. I will literally shed tears when she's sold, but right now, it's the right thing for me to do for my family. Best of luck, and please message me with any questions. I'll be adding lots of pictures over the next few days.
On Feb-01-17 at 10:03:41 PST, seller added the following information:A few things I failed to mention: -she is on the hard with storage paid until April. Slip where she is currently berthed is amazing. $2800 per year includes winter haulout, wifi, water, electric and a bath house. There are two waterfront restaurants with tiki bars within walking distance. -boat comes with an extra 100% jib. Not cut perfectly for the rig so the leech flutters. I'd have the foot recut high (yankee style) and use it as a high wind sail.-if we don't get a warm enough day for me to paint the bottom, I will still throw in three gallons of bottom paint ($400 value).
On Feb-04-17 at 06:34:00 PST, seller added the following information:I have gotten several questions asking if I will provide owner financing or make a deal outside of ebay. I am unable to provide owner financing. I do not give out my reserve. I would like to let the auction run its course before negotiating any sale outside of ebay. Should the auction not hit reserve I will gladly entertain cash offers. *I will be at the boat tomorrow from 8:30am until 2pm to show the boat to any local bidders. Due to work and family commitments, this may be the only daylight hours I have prior to the auction's close. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
On Feb-06-17 at 01:19:21 PST, seller added the following information:I will accept paypal for the deposit only. Remainder of funds payable in cash or cashier's check only. Boat sold as-is, where is with no warranty or guarantee. I may have time today, Monday to show the boat if a local bidder would like to view.
