56 foot steel hull
FOR SALE: Burmah Queen
    LOA 56 feet, beam 12.5 feet, draft 6 feet. She was built in Germany for the Port Police of Hamburg, Germany and launched in 1926
    The boat is well known amongst the NWSS members and has participated in many meets and at one time was a "live aboard" for the current owner.
    The owner "hauled" her to remove the ageing scotch type boiler and found the hull also required replacing of plates in the "coal bunker" midship area. Age and funding have slowed the process and due to a sale of the storage property she must be moved. The engine, boiler and auxilliary machinery have been removed and are stored at the owner's shop.
    Additional information may be found at: HERE
 
$12,000 "as is, where is" including all machinery.

16' Steel Lifeboat Hull
FOR SALE: 16 FOOT STEEL LIFE BOAT HULL
    5 1/2' beam, 29" inside draught. Stern tube, skeg and pintel installed ready for your 1 1/4" prop shaft, positioned to accept an 18" prop. Includes new Cutlass bearing, brass gland seal, and mounted stainless thrust bearing.
    Riveted 18 gauge steel with 5/8" thick steel keel, this hull is not in new condition and needs an application of fiberglass to make it completely seaworthy.
    Located in the San Francisco Bay area, both hull and trailer come with current registration. As seen in the photo, the trailer, although already having carried the boat 3200 miles to our house, should be considered as only a tool to get your boat home.
 
$1800 takes both.
