1966 Matthews 45' Project Cruiser / Liveaboard

by Cam
(Canada)

Vessel is currently moored in Sechelt, on the Sunshine Coast.

Recent survey of the hull found it to be in exceptional condition.

This is an excellent project boat that requires minimal effort to make a desirable roomy live aboard.

The offered price of $25,000.00 reflects its current condition as of October 2013.

Main engines and Genset run strong.

Electronics, captains bench, black wrap around aft deck canopy have been removed for clean up but are included.

Not willing to finance.

Serious Inquiries only please to make arrangements for viewing.

Good luck in your search.
