2003 Custom 30'
2003 Custom 30'
Description
This unusual Custom Cutter, with her steel deck and hull, is approximately 65 % complete, hence her bargain-like price. She appears that she may be based on a Lyle Hess design. Most of his designs were manufactured in wood or fibreglass. It is unusual to find one manufactured from metal.
We want to be very clear that this is a serious project boat that will need a large amount of work. One should approach this project with the expectation that it is only the shell, the standing rigging and the three sails are available. Please count on doing everything else. The good news is that the engine and prop shaft will be reinstalled by the marina at no charge.
Local knowledge says that she was manufactured by a professional welder in Iowa in 2003. The original engine was a 12 hp Yanmar which was much too small to move her at a significant pace. The current owner replaced that engine with a 25 hp Universal (Kubota) diesel. At this point, her hull is uninsulated and she is stripped out down below. Her framing is 1/4" x 2 1/2" steel on 18" centers. Her hull plating is the same thickness below the waterline and likely 3/16" above the waterline. She has been recently ground-coated with submarine primer and then topcoated. Her ballast is concrete encased in a steel-framed keel. She has a full keel and has a hard double-chine in her hull design. Her sails (new in 2003) are hanked on.
With some love and attention, she could be equipped for and capable of cruising.
